Enjoy a leisurely exploration of the Middle Rio Grande Bosque ecosystem with one of the RGNC

volunteer naturalists.

Search for signs of animal life and discover how the Bosque and the Rio Grande provide habitat.

The walk is about 1 1/2 hours long; the mostly flat, sandy trail is just under 1 mile. We recommend that you wear a hat and sunscreen and bring a water bottle. This walk is appropriate for adults and children.

Meet your guide just west of the RGNCSP parking lot at the bench and bulletin board.

Advanced registration is requested – sign up at the Front Desk or call the Park to register.

Aside from the Park Day-Use Fee, there is no additional charge for this walk. The Park Day-Use Fee is $3.00 per vehicle exact cash or check (Friends of the RGNC permit holders and NM State Parks annual permit holders enter free with valid permit displayed).
