7. Rio Grande Nature Center State Park

This 270-acre park along the Rio Grande is wildlife sanctuary that is home to more than 260 species of birds. The best way to experience the park is to hike any of the numerous trails, but if time is short, check out the library at the nature center, where you'll find not only a wealth of books about the area and nature in general, but a fantastic view as well. The glass-walled library faces out onto a pond full of geese, ducks, and other wildlife.   (© 10Best)
