Bear Canyon Arroyo Map

Location: 35.1454403, -106.4750836

Bear Canyon Arroyo is one of Albuquerque’s most recognizable arroyos, stretching from the Sandia Mountains into the heart of the city’s northeast quadrant. With portions integrated into developed trail systems, it offers scenic paths for walkers, joggers, and cyclists. The arroyo serves as a major drainage route during monsoon season, but for most of the year it remains dry, lined with desert vegetation and open views. Its role in flood mitigation is matched by its recreational value, making it a vital and well-used corridor that blends natural function with public access.
