Although we didn't get to see it at sunset, the daytime views were spectacular. It was quite cool and somewhat windy at the top, but there are several hiking trails, a nice visitor center and a pretty reasonably priced restaurant for lunch. Well worth the fee!

Cast aside your fear of being suspended above the desert/mountain. Catch glimpses of wildlife on the way up and city views/wooded mountainside at the top. Timing your visit to include a sunset and the twinkling lights of Albuquerque is a plus. We've eaten several times at High Finance -- make a reservation for a window table. A definite plus addition... More

This is probably one of the top attractions for locals and tourists. It is a little pricey, but not too bad in the overall scheme of things. It is advertised as one of the longest aerial trams in the world. Be sure and take a sweater as it is cool on top all year round, especially when the sun goes... More

Beautiful Views ! Friendly tram host. Excellent National Forest info display atop mountain. Tram runs frequently with short waits at top or bottom.

This is a wonderful ride, the scenery is amazing. And as an engineering feat the tramway is really impressive. The views are incredible and if it is hot in Albuquerque it will be cool at the top of the mountain.

I have been traveling to New Mexico for 30 years, but had never taken the time to take the tram to Sandia Peak. I'm glad we finally did. Not cheap ($20 per adult), but a spectacular ride.

Ride takes about 15 minutes and you must stand up since there are only 2 handicapped seats per car. Called a "flight" because it is so long and so high. Wonderful views. Kids might enjoy the tiny stone house on the ridge and the airplane wreckage on the side of the mountain. Much colder when you get to the top,... More

Good way to blow two hours if you are touring around or want a quick dose of awesome scenery or a mild rush. Not much on top, so the ride is the real meat of the experience. It is expensive, so be prepared. I'd not ride it again, unless I hiked up.

my husband and I really enjoyed this ride. the car was packed both ways. we wandered around all over the top and loved it. there are so many pretty views that look down the ski slope side. we also like the west for the sun setting. if it's cloudy you can't see it as well. the car was very very...
