The MetroABQ's Paseo del Bosque Trail From The National Hispanic Cultural Center
The Paseo del Bosque Trail
Always interested in where that cool-looking path goes, from the Sculpture Garden 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 BosqueTrail, 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...
