5 Day Trips (Under 3 Hours) To Celebrate Dad On Father’s Day Father’s Day is coming up, so we’ve put together a list of five fun day trips (under three hours) to celebrate Dad this weekend. El Paso is distinctly positioned near both a state and international border, making for short day and weekend trips visiting our nearby neighbors with only a few miles of driving. Spend some quality time with dad celebrating Father’s Day weekend at any of these day road trips within 3 hours of driving or less exploring Mother Nature, pecan groves, gypsum dunes, and much more.
