Sandia Peak Tramway - Albuquerque, NM

In Albuquerque we took a ride on the world's longest passenger aerial tramway. It climbs ~4,000 feet in elevation in ~15 minutes. Between tower two and the top terminal is the 3rd longest clear span in the world. At the top we dined at the High Finance restaurant.
























Sunset on the observation deck atop 10,378 foot Sandia Peak in the Cibola National Forest. It was freezing cold on top of the mountain.


An 11,000 square-mile panoramic view of the Rio Grande Valley and the Land of Enchantment.


Ken ordered rack of lamb with prosciutto wrapped asparagus; I ordered salmon and wished I'd ordered the lamb.


Albuquerque at night.
