Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge is located in New Mexico, on the northern edge of the Chihuahuan Desert, between the Chupadera Mountains to the west & the San Pascual Mountains to the east. The refuge was established in 1939 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, with the initial goal of accommodating migratory waterfowl. Today, this 57,331-acre wilderness is habitat to a diverse system of flora & fauna, featuring a breathtaking landscape shaped by towering mesas, wetlands, & desert. Each season is spectacular in Bosque del Apache, with Sandhill Cranes dancing in the winters, migrating sandpipers feeding in the wetlands among colorful wildflowers in the springtime, Gambel’s Quail singing beautifully atop trees in the summers, & in the fall, coyotes, mule deer, & javelina idling or prancing through the open meadows. While bird & wildlife watching are common features of Bosque del Apache, several trails provide a close-up view of the natural beauty of the refuge, such as a panoramic overlook of the incredible variety of desert plants, reptiles, & birds & awe-inspiring landscape. Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge is one of our nation’s best treasures. “Due to the unique nature of our maps all sizes are approximate.
