Destination ditch bank?

I bet when you think of New Mexico hikes, you don't think of walking along ditch banks. But in Albuquerque's North Valley, there is a series of connected paths along the irrigation ditch banks. I grew up in the North Valley and the ditch banks were my playground. Today's groomed ditch banks are used by many adults for jogging, walking and biking - but back then there were OURS and we launched many a grand adventure from them. I'll be back there walking a few of them again, but I won't try to jump across any and I have long given up swimming in them. Yikes!
