Walking the MetroABQ: The Paseo del Bosque Trail
The National Hispanic Cultural Center is the perfect starting place
This conversation about the National Hispanic Cultural Center, will bring you to the starting spot below…
The Paseo del Bosque Trail
Always interested in where that cool-looking path goes…From the Sculpture Garden at the NHCC, one can’t help but notice a lush (in Spring) path alongside the NHCC, with the Rio Grande bosque on the other side, seen below.
The walking/biking trail is called the Paseo del Bosque Trail & amazingly, it runs for 13+ miles from the National Hispanic Cultural Center in the south, to the northern tip of the Metro at Alameda. A map of the city-length trail shows the MetroABQ from an interestingly different angle. (Heading south on the trail, you will encounter another six+ miles of the scenic bike trail that forms a loop back to the NHCC.)
A well-written & extremely informative booklet called the Paseo del Bosque Tour guide describes & explains many of the scenes along the Paseo del Bosque Trail, calling the trail “an historic route through historic communities.” Parking in the lot at the NHCC & beginning the walk/ride from there works. Heading north, Barelas is the first place you will encounter. And that unique community is just the beginning of that adventure…
I love maps! Below is a very detailed Albuquerque Flood Control map, useful to give you a feel of where you are in the city…however, not so useful for finding your way…
Thx for reading & for getting this far.
