Pueblo Montaño Picnic Area and Trailhead — Attraction in Albuquerque

I came here with my friends. Great safe place for flying a drone or also walking!

There are numerous trails which mostly intersect throughout the open space. The trails run next to the aquaduct, and the river. You can expect to see a variety of insects, small mammals and fowl, fish, turtles, and the occasional porcupine.
