Description:
While not a rails to trails project this has got to be one of the most wonderful urban trails in America. Originally set aside as part of open land initiative it is certainly one of the best features of living in Albuquerque. The ride goes along the Rio Grande for approx.16 miles. Passes by the Rio Grande Conservation Center the Albuquerque Bio Park and the Zoo. The only cars you will see are on the occasional bridges that pass over the trail. The trail is pretty much flat the whole way except when passing under those pesky bridges.

Completing the Bosque Trail
By twirlymaker on May 26, 2009
Starting at the Aquarium trail entrance this is an excellent trail south past Tingley Park to Rio Bravo where it continues south then makes a turn east & north back to Rio Bravo Blvd and west to complete the loop. From the Aquarium north, the trail has some expansion cracks/root heaves. At the north end the Bosque Trail crosses the Rio Grande on the old Alameda Bridge. There is parking at the Trailhead off Central (Historical Route 66) at ( N35.09138 W106.67954 ) Noel Keller 20/21 May 09.
Beautiful Ride

This trail is worth going out of your way for. The pavement is in mostly good condition and is popular with cyclists as well as pedestrians. While a little narrow, the trail does go under crossroads, so it provides a safe north south transit link thru Albuquerque.
