South Franklin Mountain is a 6,791-foot peak in Franklin Mountain State Park. It's a little over 300 feet lower than the tallest peak in the range, North Franklin Mountain, but it doesn't lack in views. The Mammoth and Fusselman Canyon expand to the west and north, and you can see deep into Mexico from the summit when looking south.
