Highlights

A walk in the bosque among the cottonwoods. In the Fall this is a good foliage hike.

Cautions

None.

Trailhead Directions

In Albuquerque, drive to the Westside, to the intersection of Coors Road, Alameda Blvd and Corrales Rd. Travel north on Corrales Road 0.4 miles to a turnout on the right side of the road, on north side of the San Mateo Drain. (You may pass Cabezon Road on the left as you approach.) This is PARK. The trailhead begins to the east, at the end of the road.

Actual Hike

Go east along the north side of the drain to the ditch bank on the east side of the north-south River Side Drain to BOSQUE SOUTH (0.1 mi). Go north (actually northeast) on the ditch bank to BOSQUE NORTH (2.2 mi), the north end of the hike. There will be a bridge crossing the drain. This bridge is the southern extent of the Corrales Bosque North hike. Go east into the Bosque and go south until you reach a side path which goes left TO RIVER (3.5 mi), a possible place for lunch. Then continue south to a WYE (4.6 mi) . Keep right and go up onto the ditch bank at BOSQUE SOUTH (4.7 mi). Then return to parking.

Comments

In the Fall this is a good foliage hike.
