One group wants vigorous change, development, construction, the kind of change that puts money in people\u2019s pockets. This group is as relentless as termites.<\/p>\n

Another group wants NO CHANGES AT ALL. I sympathize with these people and, therefore, try not to see the selfishness of that. For them, the bosque \u201cworks\u201d (an objectionable word in this context) — they have what they want and fear losing that.<\/p>\n

More than likely, the third group is the largest and includes those who have never been into the bosque. This group\u2019s apathy, indifference, and ignorance, has to change. Some of these people need to choose another group. I recommend you start at Alameda, cross under the road and head northwest toward the river.<\/p>\n

Rio Grande Valley State Park \u2014 City of Albuquerque<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

Established by the State Legislature in 1983, this Park is managed cooperatively by the Open Space Division and the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District (MRGCD). The 4,300-acre park extends from Sandia Pueblo in the north through Albuquerque and south to Isleta Pueblo.\n<\/p>\n

The Rio Grande bosque offers a unique environment in arid Albuquerque. Large cottonwood trees, coyote willow, and New Mexico olive create a cool, shady forest and provide habitat for beaver, numerous bird species, turtles, and snakes.<\/p>\n

Recreation<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n

Low-impact recreation<\/b> such as hiking, bicycling, mountain biking, in-line skating, boating (see access points at the bottom of this page), and horseback riding are allowed on the Paseo del Bosque paved trail or the natural surface trail beneath the cottonwood trees. The Paseo del Bosque trail<\/a> is approximately 16 miles in length from Alameda Blvd. to Rio Bravo Blvd. and runs along the east side of the river. Natural surface trails run along both sides of the river intermittently and a myriad of unmarked trails wind throughout the bosque.\n<\/p>\n

The Rio Grande Valley State Park Trail Map<\/a>\"About<\/a> provides a guide to access points in the park system.\n<\/p>\n

Hours of Operation<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

April – October: 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM
November – March: 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
