Surprise! I’ve been in Albuquerque and DC for meetings. It was my first visit to Albuquerque since the early 90′s, and I didn’t get to see as much of the city and surroundings as I would have liked. Still, I did get out to ride the super long, super high tram that takes you to the top of Sandia Peak. At 10,000+ feet elevation, it was more than 30 degrees colder and there were a couple of feet of snow on the ground. Skiers and snowboarders were having a blast. I’ll have some photos from the tram ride and the higher elevations tomorrow and Saturday.

It was – both the ride itself and the chance to play with the camera at that distance and while moving.
Cool ride to the sky! Great photos, Wren!
Much better than walking up!
Good one.
Thanks!
This is a fun ride to skywatching activity.
It was a fun ride – great view and fascinating to watch the terrain change as we went through 4 different climate zones.
I love to ride on high tram one day but afraid of heights.
Great shots of the sky and tram.
Great shots, Wren! I love to ride in those and have a chance to see things from a different perspective! Hope you have a great weekend!

This is particularly fun, because it’s one of the longest in the world.
I love how you can see the ground as it goes up into the sky. Good shots!
Thanks, Carver. I love the high desert and its scenery.
Oh, so you beat my Tirol post by 4,000 feet.
Okay, that’s up, up, up, AND up.
Looking forward to your pics!
LOL – I promise to leave Everest for you!
