Rio Grande Village Nature Trail Walking Tour

We often think of the desert as being a dry place, but if you look closely, you will find that water is truly the desert's "architect". The presence or absence of water affects the variety of plants and animals living here, and the ways in which humans have been able to use this area over time. As you walk the nature trail, let this tour be your guide, but also use your own observational skills to search for adaptations that plants and animals have evolved to survive in the Chihuahuan Desert.
