East of Albuquerque the Sandia Mountains stand tall. Just looking at the Sandia's inspires one to pay a visit to the mountain's peak. I am not one to hike up a mountain but I sure enjoy the feeling of being at the top of a mountain. Seeing those panoramic views of 11,000 miles of nature and city is fantastic! Sandia Peak Tramway is an aerial tramway located adjacent to Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. It stretches from the northeast edge of the city to the crestline of the Sandia Mountains and has the world's third longest single span.
Sandia Peak Tramway offers the best and shortest way to get to the top of the Sandia's. The Tramway has been operating for forty years of flight offering visitors beautiful scenic views of the city of Albuquerque and the Cibola National Forest. The Tram ride measures from the base to the top of the mountain to be a 2.7 mile ride of magnificent sky views.
Sandia Peak Ski Area will be open Saturdays, Sundays & Holidays Through Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7th, 2015 for Scenic Chairlift Rides and Lift Accessed Mountain Biking.
