The story in Albuquerque this fall is still the Rio Grande. It’s running high and fast, and this week I went out to see it from the middle.<\/p>\n
I took the I-40 Trail<\/a> heading west, to the short stretch known as the Gail Ryba Memorial Pedestrian Bridge. The red arches run right alongside I-40 as it passes over the Rio Grande, shaded by cottonwoods, and they carry you out over the river.<\/p>\n From the middle of the bridge, looking north, you get the same view that travelers heading west on I-40 see for a second or two as they cross the river. On foot, you can stop and take it all in: the wide brown water, the bosque on both banks, and the Jemez Mountains on the horizon.<\/p>\n This week’s lesson:<\/strong> Some of the best views are the ones everyone else drives past. Thousands of people cross the Rio Grande on I-40 every day, but only the walkers and cyclists get to stop and see it. Find a place near you that you usually see from a car, and go see it on foot.<\/p>\n How did your week go?
