Paseo del Bosque – Alameda Access Point

What a beautiful area of The Bosque!
On this trail you get to take in the Cottonwood forest, the Rio Grande and the Sandias all in one place!
There is a nice shaded picnic area on the NE side and a natural trail you can follow north of there. Sand, fallen tree branches, and critters abound. Lots of great scenery and views of the Rio Grande with the Sandias in the distance.
Head south of the Alameda bridge to check out the wetlands and wildlife area and continue along the paved trail along the Rio if that’s more your style.
There are a couple porta potties near the parking lot on the SE side, otherwise no facilities around until you head further south.
Runners, walkers, bikers and horseback riders are all common to see in this area. Plus some fishing when the water levels are high enough.
