Alpine Xeric Park

Alpine Xeriscape Park is a small neighborhood park located in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The park features a 0.30 mile concrete loop trail that is 4 feet wide. The trail has 636 steps and is rated as Grade 2 difficulty, making it suitable for most visitors.

As a xeriscape park, Alpine Xeriscape Park incorporates drought-tolerant landscaping and plants that require minimal water. This type of landscaping is well-suited to New Mexico's arid climate. The park provides an example of water-efficient gardening practices that can be implemented in residential yards.

The park is dog-friendly, allowing visitors to bring their leashed pets to enjoy the trail. However, the park does not have any lighting, so it is best visited during daylight hours.
