Contemplation Trail

Contemplation Trail – Easy Walk with River Views 🌿
🚶‍♂️ Distance: 1.9 miles
⛰ Elevation gain: 9 ft
🕓 Estimated time: 30–35 minutes
🐾 Dog-friendly (on leash)

Let’s take it easy with a peaceful walk along Contemplation Trail. This one’s flat, shaded, and runs alongside the Rio Grande with plenty of quiet spots to pause, breathe, and just take it all in.

There are a few river access points along the way, so bring your pup if they like to splash around. Expect big cottonwoods, soft dirt paths, and a calm energy that makes this trail perfect when you need to reset.

Bug spray is a good idea, and just keep an eye out for wildlife like porcupines or coyotes. But overall, it’s a calm, beautiful loop that lives up to its name.

See you on the trails
