Begin the hike on the west side of the center.
The 38-acre Rio Grande Nature Center State Park lies along the east bank of the Rio Grande northwest of downtown Albuquerque. The park offers a fun family-friendly trail system that weaves through open woods along the river. The park and trails are on the Rio Grande flyway, a well-used migration route for birds and waterfowl. Bring binoculars and a bird book to spot some of the 250 different species of birds that live in or migrate through Albuquerque. The trail passes through a bosque, or riverside forest, which offers tall cottonwood trees that shade hikers and provide valuable habitat for riparian wildlife, including sandhill cranes, beavers, porcupines, coyotes, turtles, roadrunners, great blue herons, and bald eagles in winter.
