Low‑angle trails along the Rio Grande and adjacent wetlands with cottonwoods, river reflections and distant Sangre de Cristo peaks — great for landscapes, birdlife and intimate nature scenes. Best at golden hour or overcast for even light. Flat, easy trails; parking at the trailhead on S River Rd. No fees; expect migratory birds in spring/fall and snow-capped peaks in winter.
