A little pricey to go upthere, but it's fun and gives a nice sight of the city and the desert around it. The restaurant is not great, it's just a burger/fries type of thing. I think a high end restaurant, with such a view would be a great place to eat.

We're from Texas and were wearing our Texas attire, which is summer clothes pretty much. We went up there and oh boy! It was freezing!!! And so much snow! We were there the first week of March. Wow! That was the most snow I've ever seen in one day! I was a lil scared at first but the conductor was... More

We have always wanted to try out the Tramway while in Albuquerque and this trip we had the chance! On Tuesday's it was only open from 5pm to 8pm, so we decided to make a date out of it. It was such a wonderful experience-- we saw 3 bears while heading up to the top! The operators were very friendly... More

We went up on the Tram for dinner at the High Finance Restaurant. It is colder at the tip than down in Albuquerque, so bring a sweater or jacket. The sunset view was spectacular, and the meal was very good. If you have a reservation there is a discount on the tram.

My husband & I took this fun tramway while visting Albuquerque. Since it was still off season the wait was very short and we jumped right on. A little scary, but the views of Sandia Peaks were awesome. There are trails once you get to the top and you can stay as long as you like to explore. We also... More

We send all our out of state visitors to a few attractions, and the tram is one of them. you are taken from high desert (about 5400 feet is my guess) to an alpine mountain (over 10,000 feet), with huge trees and a magnificent view over Albuquerque to the Western horizon. Wow (You may not want to eat at the... More

I've been to the top of Sandia Peak twice on this tramway, and I can say without reservation, it is well worth it! The entire tramway experience is packed with beautiful views and the exciting experience of the tram ride itself. Once you get to the top, you'll want to hang out there for a while, because there is just... More

I brought my fiancé to Albuquerque and had to take him up on the Tram. I'd been on it many times before, but never tire of the experience. He was blown away. The sights and scenery are breathtaking. The ride was smooth and comfortable. Barely any sweaty palms at all! This is the ultimate visitor experience for anyone new to... More

I came here w some friends from out of state and this is a nice place to be with limited amount of time. Great view! Tram ride was ordinary. Dined at High Finance, great view from there. A must try as there is nothing much to do in the city.
