At ten thousand feet, Sandia’s Crest Trail offers spectacular views. At any time of day, the trail running the cliff face, provides a breath-taking escape from the city. Overlooking Albuquerque, Lobos can watch the sunrise illuminate the city, hike to the Kiwanis cabin, watch some of the best sunsets in the world—from one of the best viewpoints in Albuquerque, or sit and watch the city lights flicker under a sky full of stars. Take the longest aerial tram in the U.S. up or drive-up the winding road along Sandia’s eastern side, just don’t let yourself miss out on the mountain top.
