Sandia Peak Aerial Tram

Trail miles from west terminus: 757

Among the longest aerial tramways in the world, the Sandia Peak Aerial Tram offers a fast, thrilling, and incredibly scenic trip between the Albuquerque city edge and Sandia Crest, a 10,000+ foot elevation fault-block “Sky Island” which the GET follows on its own more terrestrial journey toward the city. The GET is very scenic as well as it descends over 4000 vertical feet in 9 miles toward the base of the tramway. Yet the tram is certainly an option for those not interested in such a climb or descent.

In essence, the tram connects the end of the GET at its eastern terminus with the GET 9 miles away from this point. One-way and round-trip tickets can be purchased online. (Base station entrance fee also charged for vehicles entering the property. This includes accessing the GET east terminus / Tramway Trail.) Tram cars run regularly throughout the day.
