Sandia Peak Tramway

Great experience, even if traveling solo. Nice people, made me feel comfortable. Good minority representation. Bring wind gear and extra layers! It’s cold up there!

So much fun! It's simply a beautiful view. The tram system is great. About every 15 minutes the 2 Tram system arrives to take a bunch of people. It really is effective and although waiting is never fun it moved efficiently. For 25 per person round trip I would easily do it again because the restaurant which will get it's open review is phenomenal, but be prepared to wait because it's extremely popular and you know it's on top of a mountain. It's hard to recommend the ride to just go up and down but it's still beautiful. Be aware they pack the tram really tight, if you don't like small enclosed places with no escape for 15 minutes, I highly don't recommend this. Otherwise the view at the top is gorgeous, it's about 30 degrees colder up that high and windy so dress accordingly.

A great tourist attraction! I really enjoyed the trip up to the top of the mountain. Once there, you have a wonderful view of the sunset (you have to be there at the right time, of course). Unfortunately the day I went the restaurant was closed for maintenance but I guess the experience might be fantastic. At the bottom of the tram system there is a gift shop and at the top there is a small museum. Be aware that up there the temperature is considerable lower than in the base. I went there on a hot summer day in July and once up there I had to put on my sweater!
