Bosque Del Apache Photos 2024 Photos. I am in bosque del apache, a national wildlife refuge where each winter tens of thousands of birds congregate around federally managed, artificially maintained wetlands. Bosque del apache straddles a patch of land between the foothills of the desert mountains and the rio grande, a river that has carved out an spectacular course, dented by four major basins, along an ancient rift valley.

Less searching, more finding with getty images. Each year, friends of the bosque del apache hosts a photo contest.
