The Embudito Canyon trail offer a glimpse of wild New Mexico yet only steps away, from a half a million people in the city of Albuquerque. Spring is calling within the canyon walls. Here you'll hear the "gronk" sound of the Cactus wren or beautiful melodies of the black-throated sparrow, curved-bill thrasher or the gambel's quail. If you see a red flash it maybe the small Ladder-backed woodpecker. So much to see with flowering claret cactus, chokecherry, and creeping holly grape along the canyon floor.
