| At the east end of Tramway Blvd, in Albuquerque, NM in the foothills of the Sandia mountains is the worlds longest 2.7 mile, aerial Tramway. |
 |
| On the 'flight' to the top one tram car passes the other. |
 |
| The trip goes over ponderosa pine, juniper and pinon forests, deep canyons and breathtaking terrain. Occasionally wild life can be spotted in and among the rocks. |
 |
| After a 10 minute ride the tram arrives at the observation deck and building at the top. A short walk down a board walk, is the High Finance restaurant. |
 |
| Looking to the east is the top of the Sandia Peak Ski area. That view has to be at least 30 - 40 miles, if not further. |
 | ||||||
| The best time to go on top is at sunset. The mountain the sun is setting behind, is Mt. Taylor by Grants, NM and about 50 miles away. |
 | ||
| Once the sun sets, the lights in the valley start coming on and look like diamonds on velvet. The silver strand is the Rio Grande River. |
A visit to the top of Sandia mountain either by driving to the top from Hwy 14 on the east side or taking the tram on the west side, is an absolute must for every visitor to Albuquerque. Absolutely breathtaking!!!
