The Paseo del Bosque runs about 16 paved miles through the cottonwoods along the Rio Grande, and paved trails follow the arroyos and the Sandia foothills across the city. The hard part is the wide, fast roads in between. Trazo links them on the calmest streets it can find and marks where you cross a busy road without a light.
Albuquerque has the Paseo del Bosque along the Rio Grande, paved trails along the North Diversion Channel, and the Tramway Trail at the foot of the Sandias. The arterials between them are wide and fast, so most good rides start by reaching the river or a channel trail. Here is the backbone, and Trazo finds the calm links.
Paved, along the Rio Grande through the bosque, the cottonwood forest by the river. Start from the Rio Grande Nature Center (paid lot) or Tingley Beach; on summer days ride early and carry water.

A paved trail of about 16 miles along the Rio Grande through the bosque, the cottonwood forest beside the river, shared with people walking and running.
Try a ride on the Paseo del Bosque along the Rio Grande from Tingley Beach. See it on Albuquerque bike loops, or plan any ride in the Trazo map.
The Paseo del Bosque and the channel trails are the calmest riding here. In the Trazo map, "With kids" favors them and quiet streets where it can, and shows each busy crossing without a light before you go. We mark a ride here for kids only when it never crosses a busy road without a light; none is marked yet. The Tingley Beach ride on the Paseo del Bosque crosses Alcalde Place SW, once each way.
Its trail network is a strength: the Paseo del Bosque runs along the river and the channel trails cross the city north to south. The catch is the wide arterials between them; Trazo plans routes that use the calm pieces and marks the busy crossings that have no light.
Yes. The Albuquerque map runs from Rio Rancho and Corrales in the north to the South Valley, and from the West Mesa to the Sandia foothills, so a ride between them plans as one trip.
UNM to Alameda Open Space (9.8 miles) follows the North Diversion Channel trails most of the way and opens in Trazo with one tap. For any other start or finish, plan it in the map.

Trazo rates every street and path by how stressful it is to ride, from its speed, lanes and bike facilities in OpenStreetMap, and plans the calmest reasonable way.
Trails, lanes and quiet streets are shaded by traffic stress, and a warning triangle marks each busy crossing with no light.

The map flags uncontrolled crossings: busy roads with no signal, where you cross on your own.
See the climb before you commit, and flip on “prefer flat” when you (or the kids) aren't in the mood for hills.
Search an address, drop a pin, or use your location. Or pick “Loop ride” and just set a distance.
Choose With kids, Relaxed or Anything. Trazo favors protected paths to match, and you can drag the line to add a stop.
