The 2.7-mile ascent to the 10,378-foot peak of the Sandia Mountains is a thrilling, can't-miss attraction on the Sandia Peak tramway. Once atop the peak, the view is a panorama of more than 11,000 square miles of spectacular beauty. At night, the city lights below sparkle like a million jewels.
This is fun mixed with an incredible view. The tram in Albuquerque is one of the longest in the US and the view is just endless. Plus, once you get to the top they have a great little cafe, hiking trails and overall it is just a great experience. Kid friendly.
If your kids like to hike then this it is! The tram ride is fun, the operators are great and humorous, and it has beautiful views. You can hike up the mountain to an abandoned lookout and get great photos! Be warned, this is a HIKE, wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket in case of weather changes. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the views while eating. You don't have to hike for the views but it is absolutely gorgeous and worth the trek!
