Fall is of course my favorite time of year for the Bosque, but with the right vibe, winter works too. The trees are barren and mysterious, and some brown leaves may remain. Some spots along the bosque offer mountain views, the mighty Rio Grande, brown/golden leaves as the sun hits closer to sunset, & unique tree-sparse landscapes. The bosque stretches from Bernalillo down to Los Lunas, so there are a lot of spots.
