Founded along the Camino Real and the Rio Grande, Albuquerque grew from a 1706 colonial plaza into a crossroads of railroad and Route 66 culture, visible in its mission churches and midcentury storefronts.
Conservation
Respect the Rio Grande bosque and urban green spaces by staying on paths and carrying out trash; water conservation and shade planning matter during summer months.
