Rio Grande Valley State Park, Natural park along Rio Grande in Albuquerque, US
Rio Grande Valley State Park extends across 4,300 acres along both sides of the river, featuring sandy trails through cottonwood forests and constructed wetlands.
The New Mexico State Legislature established this protected natural area in 1983, placing it under management of multiple local and federal agencies.
The Aldo Leopold Forest contains interpretive signs documenting the life and work of the conservationist who influenced the Rio Grande Valley protection.
Multiple access points throughout Albuquerque provide parking facilities, designated picnic areas, vault toilets, and waste receptacles for visitors.
The 16-mile paved Paseo del Bosque Trail connects several recreational zones and ranks among the finest cycling paths in the Western United States.
