Albuquerque, NM 87122
Phone: (505) 856-7325
www.sandiapeak.com
The 2.7-mile ascent to the 10,378-foot peak of the Sandia Mountains is a thrilling, can’t-miss attraction. The adventure begins as you board the tram, already high above the city in the foothills of the majestic Sandia Mountains. Immediately, you will be amazed as you embark on the 2.7-mile ride, whisking you gently over the canyons and lush forests beneath. During the day, you might see mule deer, black bears, or bobcats roaming the forest beneath, and hawks, golden eagles, or even the occasional hang glider coast through the air above. Once atop the peak, you can see a panorama of more than 11,000 square miles of spectacular beauty. At night, the city lights below sparkle like a million jewels.
In the summer, you’ll be free to venture out on a hike or take a leisurely walk through the wildflowers; during winter, grab your snowboard and hit the slopes on the eastern slope at the Sandia Peak ski area.

HOT AIR BALLOONING
Albuquerque’s fabulous weather offers the perfect opportunity to take to the skies, either in a hot air balloon, glider, or airplane. A hot air balloon flight is an unforgettable experience, from the incredible sensation of the initial launch to floating into the sky and the exhilarating feeling of gently drifting with the wind and the thrill of landing. The hot air ballooning capital, Albuquerque, offers superb conditions and is the perfect place to embark on your own high-flying adventure. Albuquerque balloon pilots offer rides all year, providing an unparalleled chance to enjoy a bird’s eye view of magnificent New Mexico terrain. Many balloon companies offer a continental breakfast and champagne toast at the conclusion of your flight. For a real hands-on experience, you can even be part of a balloon crew and help prepare the balloon for launch and pack it up at the conclusion of the ride. Flights generally occur during the early morning hours, but launch times vary depending on the season. Ballooning companies often work with you to schedule a ride around a special occasion. No matter what season you fly, be sure to dress in layers because the early morning hours can be chilly, even during the summer months. Bring your camera and be ready for the thrill of a lifetime.
ALBUQUERQUE INTERNATIONAL BALLOON FIESTA
Albuquerque’s International Balloon Fiesta takes place each October, hosting more than 700 balloons in the sky at a time, making it the world’s largest hot air balloon festival.

Clear blue skies, calm winds, and mild temperatures are the norm in Albuquerque, encouraging year-round hot air ballooning and enabling more than 300 resident balloonists (more than any other state) to fly frequently. Do not miss a visit to the Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum, the world’s premier facility dedicated to the art, culture, science, history, sport, and spectacle of hot air ballooning.

LOCAL AREA ATTRACTIONS
HISTORIC OLD TOWN
Nestled between the Sandia mountains and three volcanoes is a rift carved by the Rio Grande River that is home to a historic farming community, turned outpost, and then officially a village in 1706 that predates the forming of the United States by four generations. This village – which has flown the flags of three nations (Spain, Mexico, U.S.A.), was center-stage for the brutal merger of two civilizations and has become one of the most unique and culturally significant melting pots in the history of the United States – is known as Old Town Albuquerque, NM. You can find over 150 shops located throughout Old Town. This is the place to go for your local souvenirs at a competitive price. They always have something going on event wise too!
The historic heart of Albuquerque is Old Town Plaza, where the pace slows and pedestrians find refuge from fast traffic. Old Town’s official beginning was April 23, 1706, when Francisco Cuervo y Valdes, Spanish Governor of New Mexico, certified the founding of the Villa de Albuquerque. Spain’s Laws of the Indies, in effect at the time, required setting a plaza at the center of any villa.
Centered on the plaza, Albuquerque’s Old Town comprises about ten blocks of historic adobe buildings. On the north side of the plaza is the San Felipe de Neri Church, the oldest building in the city, which was built in 1793. Surrounding the church, the city’s settlers had built their homes, shops and government offices, many of which have since been converted into the restaurants, art galleries and shops that comprise Old Town today. More than 100 stores and 24 galleries feature a wide variety of Southwestern artwork including jewelry, sculpture, paintings, weaving and pottery. In addition, the Albuquerque Museum, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, the National Atomic Museum, and the ¡Explora! Science Center and Children’s Museum are all located just to the east of Old Town, showcasing world-class exhibits.
Old Town today looks much like it did when it was built centuries ago, 70 years before the American Revolution. Its Pueblo-Spanish style architecture with flat-roofed buildings and soft contours of adobe mirror the Southwestern landscape. Long portals (porches) line the fronts of most buildings offering shade from the New Mexican sun. Bancos (benches) are often found built into the back walls of the portals, providing the perfect place for weary walkers to sit and be soothed by a Southwestern sunset. Activities and events still revolve around the picturesque plaza, much like they did three hundred years ago. Visitors to Old Town will find a treasure trove of history, hidden in plain sight at the center of modern Albuquerque.
