Sandia Mountains

The Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway offers rides to the top of the 10,378 foot Sandia Peak. From the top are spectacular views overlooking mountains, canyons, and the city of Albuquerque. The Tramway boasts one of the world's longest unsupported spans, traveling 2.7 miles.

Depending on the time of year there are a variety of options available at the top of the Tramway. During the summer months many sightseers simply come up here for the views, which can be appreciated from the observation deck or the mountain top restaurant called the High Finance Restaurant and Tavern. For anyone looking to get a little exercise there are a number of hiking and mountain biking trails. This is also part of the Sun Peak Ski Area, with ski runs attracting local skiers in winter.

At the base is the Double Eagle Day Lodge offering bike rentals and repairs, a café, and small store for souvenirs and various necessities which visitors may have left at home.
