Sandia, NM

So I've been travelling to Albuquerque quite a bit for work. Recently I had a chance to go visit the Sandia mountain range that looms over the city of Albuquerque. It was 60° on the ground, and 11° by the time I got to the 10,400ft peak. The view from up top is beautiful as the city sprawls out in front of you. I suggest the night view as you can see for hundreds of miles across the flat NM desert.

The tramway that lifts you up there is the worlds longest single section cable and climbs 4,000ft in 15 minutes. So its just a bit faster than I am on foot. Just barely.

On the way home, I learn not to mess with truck drivers in New Mexico.
