Review:
The Sandia Peak Tramway is the United States' longest aerial tramway, departing near Albuquerque and stretching over the crestline of the gorgeous Sandia Mountains. The tramway ascends from the city's western site to the Sandia Peak Ski Area, which sits just south of the Sandia Crest, at an elevation of over 10,000 feet above sea level. Riders can see some of the region's most beautiful sites, including the gorgeous skyline of the surrounding Cibola National Forest. Sunset rides provide unparalleled color and scenery, while autumn rides showcase gorgeous fall foliage. Atop the ski area, an observation deck provides 11,000-square-mile panoramic views of the nearby Land of Enchantment and Rio Grande Valley. Year-round recreational opportunities are offered, including opportunities for skiing and snowboarding throughout the winter months.
