About the host
Hosted by Heather Johnson
After many years of traveling the globe in search of rock climbing, we settled down in the Hueco Valley. Inspired by our travels to South Africa, we ventured into self-catering accommodations. We've hosted guests at our units since 2012. We love the outdoors, traveling and rock climbing. We aim to offer a comfortable, quiet place to rest while you enjoy your visit to the Hueco Tanks/El Paso area.
