There is no city this size in America where the mountains
are this accessible. They are literally in our backyard. The 5,000-foot
difference in elevation between the Rio Grande River Valley and the crest of
Sandia Peak gives you twice as many options for recreation. You may find fresh
powder perfect for skiing at Sandia Peak Ski Area one day, and enough warming
sun to play golf or tennis the next. Take advantage of the 20-degree difference
in temperature by making the quick drive (or tram ride!) from the city to the
mountains.
