These create "[[sky island]]s" of cooler, wetter, [[climate]]s adjacent to, or within the desert, and such elevated areas have both coniferous and broadleaf woodlands, including forests along drainages and favored exposures. The lower elevations of the [[Sandia–Manzano Mountains]], the Magdalena–San Mateo Mountains, and the [[Gila Wilderness\|Gila]] Region partly border the Chihuahuan Desert and partly border other ecoregions that are not deserts. There are few urban areas within the desert: the largest is [[Ciudad Juárez]] with almost two million inhabitants; [[Chihuahua, Chihuahua\|Chihuahua]], [[Saltillo, Coahuila\|Saltillo]], and [[Torreón, Coahuila\|Torreón]]; and the US cities of [[El Paso, Texas\|El Paso]] and [[Albuquerque, New Mexico\|Albuquerque]].
