Description
Join Open Space nature guides and trail stewards Richard and Colleen Shackley on an adventure into one of the gems of Albuquerque’s Open Spaces—the Rio Grande Bosque. Along the way learn about the history of the area, the flora and fauna, the importance of water, and all of the wonderful things Albuquerque’s Open Spaces have to offer. This is a moderate hike of approximately 2 miles on uneven trails. Bring water, dress for weather, and wear closed-toed shoes. No pets. Limited enrollment.
