View of the Rio Grande

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Paseo Del Bosque trail is a bit too high up to really enjoy the river. This is one of the many spots at which you can take a closer look at the Rio Grande. In fact, if you do not want to walk on the paved way, there are several dirt trails next to the bike path which you can use.
You might catch a raft of ducks swimming around.
