Sandia Park, NM

Travel Guide

Ride the tram up to Sandia Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico to see some spectacular views. A major bonus if you do this around hot air balloon festival week and you will see balloons hovering over the city. However the line/queue to ride the tram from the base can be quite long.

Room is generous, well equipped, good bed, however the overall facility is a little tired but that is easily overlooked with the extremely convenient location. Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. Stayed 6 days in a King efficiency unit.
