Description
The largest concentration of sandhill cranes near Albuquerque is in an unkempt section of the Bosque south of the National Hispanic Cultural Center. Join David Ryan as he takes us through this relatively unknown area. We hope to see hundreds of cranes, Canada geese, and hopefully porcupines. We pass the “Glass Garden” where you might find pieces of glass from the 20s, 30s, and 40s. This hike is approximately 2 miles long, over rough, uneven terrain. Moderate hike. No restrooms available. Limited enrollment.
