Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway, NM

Imagine being higher than the airplanes landing at Albuquerque International Airport? Ascend 4,000 feet in about 15 minutes along the western face of the Sandia Mountains. Through the glass walls of the cable car, passengers have been known to see eagles, mule deer, or even black bears. The engineering marvel carries 50 people at a time and travel on two 100,000 pound track cables, each stronger than what would be required to support a car.
Once you reach the top, you should be able to see over 11,000 square miles of our state. Look west across the Rio Grande, and you will see Mount Taylor more than 70 miles away. To the north and west is Redondo Peak in the Jemez Mountains, rising from a caldera known as the Valle Grande, a volcanic crater said to be the largest in the world. On the far eastern horizon, you will see the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Santa Fe. To the south are the Manzano Mountains. The ride down is just as fun. Charter a mini coach and bring along the whole adventure seeking family.
