Rio Grande Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

The Rio Grande Bosque is Spanish for "forest" and was established in 1983 as part of the Rio Grande Valley State Park. This area has unpaved running trails that go through an arid environment of large cottonwood trees, coyote willow, and New Mexico olive trees. The shade cools down this area and provides habitat for beavers, numerous bird species, turtles, and snakes.
