The Rio Grande is the lifeblood of Albuquerque and one of the most iconic rivers in the American Southwest. Flowing directly through the city, it provides water for agriculture, wildlife, and drinking supply while also serving as a centerpiece for recreation and natural beauty. The river is flanked by the cottonwood-filled Bosque, a treasured greenbelt with miles of trails for walking, biking, and birdwatching. Seasonal events, kayaking, and educational programs help connect residents and tourists alike with this vital natural resource. The Rio Grande is not only central to Albuquerque’s geography—it’s woven into its culture, economy, and environmental identity.
