Recreation

Map updated Feb. 21, 2013.

The 50-Mile Loop Plan will complete and improve a 50-mile bicycling, running, and walking trail, circling Albuquerque to promote health and recreation and provide a destination for tourists.

The City of Albuquerque hired Wilson & Company, Inc., a local engineering consultant team with planning, landscaping and design expertise to create an alignment that connects the great existing infrastructure together and provides for access to the loop from all areas of the City, and a plan to construct the 50-Mile Loop. The team has been working on this plan since August of 2012 and along with community input, we have come up with a draft of the 50-Mile Loop Plan, which is posted below.

On the map above, the blue sections show existing trail facilities and the red sections are the gaps needed to complete the 50-Mile Loop.

Please note that this is a conceptual plan and more design and community involvement will be needed as we move forward. Please take a look and let us know what you think. If you're short on time, please read the Executive Summaryto get an overview.
