Sandia Park Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Ride the tram up to Sandia Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico to see some spectacular views. A major bonus if you do this around hot air balloon festival week and you will see balloons hovering over the city. However the line/queue to ride the tram from the base can be quite long.

The view from Sandia Crest on a winter's morning is well worth the scenic drive from Albuquerque.

An easy hike but not crowded due to having to take the tram to get there. It snowed in May so be prepared for the cold.
