Sandia Peak Tramway, Aerial tramway in Albuquerque, United States.
The Sandia Peak Tramway extends 2.7 miles across the Sandia Mountains, ascending from the desert floor to an elevation of 10,378 feet.
Engineers completed the construction of this transportation system in 1966, establishing it as the longest continuous jig-back aerial tramway in North America.
The Sandia Mountains hold deep connections to regional Native American tribes, who maintained settlements near the current tramway location for generations.
The tram system operates daily with different seasonal schedules, carrying passengers in two cabins that accommodate up to 50 people each direction.
During the 15-minute journey, passengers experience a temperature change of up to 30 degrees as they traverse multiple climate zones.
