Albuquerque is rich in culture and heritage, nestled between the towering Sandia Mountains and the Rio Grande Valley. Our city is home to countless breathtaking sceneries and is brimming with vibrant energy. Year after year, people travel to enjoy ABQ's quality of life.
The temperate climate and various attractions of Albuquerque draw skiers, museumgoers, balloonists, and adventure-seekers of all kinds. The proximity to both mountains and rivers and central location along both old Route 66 and later, Interstate 40 have been attracting people to the area for years.
The Rio Grande runs through the heart of Albuquerque with miles of beautiful walking and biking trails. Kayaking can be enjoyed during Spring and early Summer when the north's snowmelt creates the ideal river conditions. From Bernalillo to Tingley Beach, it's a 26-mile float where you can see various wildlife types, including birds, coyotes, beavers, porcupines, and turtles.
