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.
