Description
This accessible walk begins by viewing an art installation in the northeast corner of the parking lot. A gentle one-mile round-trip stroll between the Rio Grande Nature Center and the river follows. A visit to the visitor center and its surrounding gardens concludes the walk. The trail from the visitor center is now fully ADA compliant. All of the trail is now either asphalt or hard packed crusher fine. There are two long ramps where wheelchair users will need a pusher to help. Bring binoculars, hat, layers, sunscreen and water. Restrooms available in the visitor center. Note: There is a $3 entrance/parking fee. Limited enrollment.
