A trip to the Sandia Tram is also a possibility. A trip on the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway transports you above deep canyons and breathtaking terrain a distance of 2.7 miles. See some of nature's more dramatic beauty unfold before you. At sunset the desert skies produce a spectacular array of color, and your vantage point from the observation deck atop 10,378 foot Sandia Peak in the Cibola National Forest affords an 11,000 square-mile panoramic view of the Rio Grande Valley and the Land of Enchantment. Located on the eastern edge of Albuquerque in the Sandia Foothills at the end of Tramway Road.

as with our tour the day before we were picked up late by Amy Atkins. We asked not to be given an old town tour as we were going on our own the next day, she filled that time with an hour long tour of the college by car, which we had no interest in. we asked repeatedly about walking about and were told no time for that. she took us to photo graph a castle that was closed to public and was behind a stone wall and trees she offered to take us to a winery which was included in tour anyways! Your description says the Tram is admission free and cost us an additional 28.$ each! when we mentioned this to her we were told Viator often gets things wrong. we cut the tour short since the only time we had out of the car was a 20 min trip to the winery and a 15 minute soup lunch and honestly did not want to listen to this person any longer!!!! not even close to worth the money the 2 days with Amy Atkins cost us!!

My family and I took the all day Albuquerque tour with Mae. The tour was outstanding, exceeded my expectations. Mae is an encyclopedia of information. The tour was well organized, it was customized to our needs and moved at our pace. I would highly recommend any of the Corn Maiden Tours.
