THE SANDIA PEAK TRAMWAY

The Sandia Peak Tramway -- the world's longest tramway -- is an excellent introduction to the variety and spectacular scenery of Albuquerque. The 2.7-mile trip lifts you to the 10,360-foot Sandia Peak, where you can view all of Albuquerque and the surrounding desert. The best view is at sunset. In summer, you can also ride the double chairlifts over the ski runs on the east slope of the Sandias. Dining is available at the High Finance Restaurant, on top of the mountain, or at the Firehouse Restaurant at the base.

You can also drive to Sandia Peak on well-paved roads. Take I-40 east to NM 14, north to NM 165 and NM 536. NM 44 from Placitas is a dirt road climbing the mountain's west slope and connecting with the paved NM 536. It is for sturdy vehicles and is passable only in warm, dry weather. There is ample parking at the top, and a gift shop open from May to October. you may walk to the High Finance Restaurant, ski area, and Tramway across the Crest Trail.
