FOR THE BIGGEST EVENT

OF THE SEASON:

Nestled along the banks of the fabled Rio Grande, just a hop, skip and a jump from ARA, lies the expansive Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge – one of the Southwest’s greatest natural treasures. 13,000 acres of moist bottom lands that serves as home to the Bosque’s most famed residents, the birds. Tens of thousands of Sandhill Cranes make an annual sojourn to the Bosque del Apache, where the mild climate provides a perfect winter habitat for these majestic birds.
