Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway 

The 2.7-mile ascent to the 10,378-foot peak of the Sandia Mountains is a thrilling, can't-miss attraction. The adventure begins as you board the tram, already high above the city in the foothills of the dramatic Sandia Mountains. Immediately you will be amazed as you ride the 2.7-mile Sandia Peak Tramway and are whisked gently over the canyons and lush forests that lie beneath the 10,378- foot Sandia Peak. During the day you might see mule deer, black bears or bobcats roaming the forest beneath you, while hawks, golden eagles and even the occasional hang glider coast through the air. Once atop the peak, you can see a panorama of more than 11,000 square miles of spectacular beauty. At night, the city lights below sparkle like a million jewels.

In the summer you'll be free to venture out on a hike or take a leisurely walk through the wildflowers; during winter you can grab your snowboard and hit the slopes on the eastern slope Sandia Peak ski area.
