Walking Albuquerque: 30 Tours of the Duke City's Historic Neighborhoods Ditch Trails Urban Nature and Public Art

About this book

Given its history and massive sprawl we must admit that unlike Nancy Sinatras boots Albuquerque was not made for walking. However that doesnt mean the art of walking has met its demise here. A resurgence in plans and efforts to make it walkable again indicates that the city is on the verge of a pedestrian renaissance. In the meantime navigating it by foot requires some local guidance and expertise. Thats where Walking Albuquerque by local author and explorer Stephen Ausherman comes in handy. With 30 routes mapped out in the valley the heights and beyond its the first guidebook of its kind to cover the entire city and surrounding areas including tourist sites and famous filming locations along with several hidden treasures most locals dont even know about. Rich in history and obsessive in detail Walking Albuquerque is written to encourage readers to take the next step and make each walk an enjoyable little journey.
