Sandia Park, NM

Travel Guide

Ride the tram up to Sandia Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico to see some spectacular views. 

A major bonus if you do this around hot air balloon festival week and you will see balloons hovering over the city. However the line/queue to ride the tram from the base can be quite long.

The view from Sandia Crest on a winter's morning is well worth the scenic drive from Albuquerque.
