Confirmed from Tingley Drive Southern Bosque Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Hiking area along the Rio Grande with a paved trail, picnic tables, and kid-friendly walks.
What runners say about Tingley Drive Southern Bosque Trailhead
“Clean and peaceful, a lot of people with off leash dogs though, more than petroglyph or Ellen gallegos open space”
“The views were absolutely stunning in the trails were easy and moderate to navigate without a fear of getting lost.”
“Great for an easy walk/run/ride.”
“Trail along the river, nature pond with ducks, patrolled by police on bikes, right in town, many trail options, quiet and peaceful place for contemplation, reflection, prayer.”
Nice flat walking, running, biking trail. Maybe not a place I would want to be at night.
Beautiful trail, serene. I was thrilled to come here Escape early in the day. I've skated the Bosque Trail for many years but only recently began to use this entry point. my otherwise wonderful experience was marred today when I came back to my car and found my catalytic converter had been sawed off.
Beautiful. Nice paved walking biking trail or you can venture further back in nature into the Bosque. Plenty of places to park. Just be sure to never leave valuables in your car. This is Albuquerque. Great way to connect with nature in the middle of the city.
Trails are well kept. Several for bike, hike, and run. Didn't know Rio Grande was dry in these parts.
