Above it all

Tramway car, originally uploaded by Edgee.

Today we went up into the Sandia Mountains the easy way, by tramway. We rode the world’s longest tramway to the top of the 10,378-foot Sandia Peak. It’s a great way to see the scenery of the mountains and the city of Albuquerque by floating above it all. On top of the peak, we rambled around the lodge and ski area. It was a clear day with a beautiful view, but there was little snow. There were only patches of ice in shady areas with no snow on the slopes.
