It’s clear that New Mexico is home to incredible views, from our forests to our deserts and everything in between. Starting on the east side of Albuquerque, you can climb aboard a tram and glide through the air to find the absolute best views of our state. High above Rio Grande Valley, sitting atop Sandia Peak is the only way to find panoramic views like this. Be prepared to be transported to a new vantage point of New Mexico, it’s truly an unforgettable experience.
The Sandia Peak Tramway is hands-down the best way to see the Land of Enchantment from high above.

The ride takes about 15 minutes from dock to dock, and the top of the tramway can be up to 30 degrees cooler, so make sure to prepare!

In the winter, Sandia Peak is also a ski hill, but in the warmer months, the sunsets are absolutely spectacular. Feel free to spend as much time at the top as you’d like.
