Sat., Oct. 20: Sandia Peak/Tram
We boarded the Sandia Peak Tramway, the World's longest
aerial tramway (a vertical rise of 3,800 feet in a 2.7 mile ride) to an elevation of 10,378 feet
on Sandia Peak overlooking Albuquerque. It was quite windy up at that elevation with winds we were
estimating gusting to 40 to 50 mph, and the temperature dropping to 45-50 degrees after sunset. But
the views were impressive.
