An aerial view of the Rio Grande River near Albuquerque

Posted by Adam Schallau on Sep 02 2008 | Spring, Rio Grande River, Travel, New Mexico

An aerial view from high over Bosque Farms looking north up the Rio Grande River towards Albuquerque and Sandia Peak. Copyright Adam Schallau.This is from my flight back into Albuquerque as we made our turn for final approach into the Sunport. We were passing over the Rio Grande River a few miles south of Isleta Pueblo and the bridges that span the river on I-25. Can you tell that we’ve had a lot of rain in New Mexico? The monsoon has been very generous and has provided some insanely green crops, pastures and trees along the Rio Grande. Please click on the image for an expanded view.
