Bachechi Open Space — Attraction in Four Corners States

The history here goes back to having an pecan orchard, a chicken farm, nursery & equestrian space over the last century. With the purchase of the land by Bernalillo county the old barn and home were removed and the land was preserved. There is an arboretum, an educational center, and several information signs along some foot paths.
