Good Nite Y'all!!!!
Donna's campsite.
Here we are back at the park again, ready to get out onto the road again to another adventure of new places and new things.
After we got back from the tram we thought we would go to the Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum, named in honor of balloonist and Tramway co-founder Ben Abruzzo, which was 10 minutes from the base of the Tramway. The Balloon Museum contains one of the world's finest collections of historic balloons and ballooning artifacts reflecting the history, science and culture of lighter than air flight. Unfortionately we got there too late and the Museum was already closed. Oh well, maybe next time.
Up and away it goes. 
There's another one taking off. They are pretty busy all day long. 
Now we're looking up where we came from.
Almost at ground level.
There's one of the trails that goes up and around the mountain. 
Lots of rocks. In some instances it looks like watermelon patches. I guess that's where Sandia Peak got its name. Sandia is watermelon in English.
On our way down.
I guess this is the tram we're taking back so we should be going down shortly.
More pictures of the chairlifts.
Well dang, there I am.
My friend and I at the top of the World or so we thought.
There one going down. We'll probably go down on the next one.
Another view of Albuquerque. 
In the winter time four chairlifts, two surface lifts and 25 miles of slopes and trails open up new paths for the beginner and offer hours of cruising terrain for intermediate or advanced skiers and snowboarders.
This is the platform to the chairlifts. They have chairlift rides in the summer so the visitors and riders can enjoy the scenic rides up the peak. There are 25 miles of mountain trails with scenic adventures for hikers and bikers. 
Waiting to get a full load, I guess. They give people a time to be there to take off.
Here's Albuquerque up close. Can you see all the stores down there???
That's Albuquerque way out there if you can see it?????
It looks like we're getting to the top finally. There are some people ready to come down. At the top they have a restaurant, information room, lots of decking so you can see the view of Albuquerque and surrounding things from different angles. 
We're coming up those wires!!!!
We meet another tram along the way.
And still up higher
And Up
And UP 
We're on our way up.
So we got our tickets and got in line. That lady in the peach is my friend Donna. She is an RVer and she travels alone. She does everything as far as hooking up the car, parking and the utilities all by herself. I wouldn't do that by myself either.
This guy rode up and down the mountain on the top of the tram. He was a mechanic so I guess he was just making sure that they were working properly or maybe it was just their monthly inspection. I wouldn't ride on the outside of anything thats going up 10,000 ft.
When we got there we watch a few of the trams coming and going.
When we came into Albuquerque and were at the park, a friend and member of our TT Chapter called me and asked me where we were, so I told her and she told me she was in Colorado and was headed to Texas to go to the Rally at Whitney. We got to talking and she was a few hours away from where we were so I asked her to come on over to New Mexico cause there was still plenty of time to get to Whitney and that's where we were headed too. So she was going to stop at that time and would come on over in the morning, and she did. So I invited her to go to The Sandia Peak. Tommy and I had been there before and had gone up on the Tram but she hadn't done it so we went and I went up it again. It's pretty awesome. I used to be scared of heights and still am somewhat, but I like to do different things. I have done more things at my old age than I ever did when I was younger.
Sandia Peak Ski & Tramway is located in the Cibola National Forest in Albuquerque New Mexico. The Sandia Mountains have long been a landmark and backdrop for the people of the Albuquerque region. Though it's a short trip from the heart of Albuquerque to the heights of the world's longest aerial tramway, the distance can also be measured in the drama of an 11,000 square mile panoramic view. From the base to the top of 10,378 foot Sandis 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.
