Sandia Peak Tramway
Experience the drama of an 11,000 square mile panoramic view of New Mexico from
the World's Longest Tramway. From the base to the top of 10,378 foot Sandia Peak, time
and terrain seem to move in harmony as passengers lift from the desert floor, above
canyons and lush forests, to the mountain top - 2.7 miles of sky-view travel and discovery
of New Mexico's varied landscape and life zones.
A trip to Sandia Peak is a fun way to learn about wildlife, ecology and the natural
environment. It offers many different types of flora and fauna to observe and learn from
including muledeer, black bear, raccoons, bobcats, and various species of squirrels. Birds
are also an important part of the Sandia Peak wildlife. Some of the more common birds to
be spotted are golden eagles, hawks, jays, ravens and canyon wrens.
The Four Seasons Visitor Center, located atop Sandia Peak, can be accessed via the
Tram. The center is open May through November and staffed with Forest Service
rangers, volunteer interpreters and Public Lands Interpretive Association personnel.
