Cedar Crest, NM

Travel 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.

Sandia Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Views of the tram are as captivating as the views from it!
Always go on the #adventure 🌈

When we set out for this hike it was pouring rain and less than 2 hours until sunset. There was at least a 50-50 chance that we would end our hike cold, wet, and in the dark. I guess we got lucky 😉✨

We had to go into Albuquerque and it was literally 20 degrees cooler at the house compared to the city. Brad is so friendly and accommodating. It truly was like being at a mountain resort. We will definitely be back!
