Route 66 Albuquerque NM, Day 3

Today we went up to the top of the city on the tram on the Sandia Peak. 

The tramway is 2.7 miles long and cables are supported by only two towers between the terminals.  Tower One is located at an elevation of 7,010 feet is 232 feet tall.  Tower One leans at an18 degree angle to evenly support the cables between the lower terminal and tower two.  As a result, the top of Tower One is offset more than 70 feet our from the center of the tower base.




Kamb holding on for dear life....
Checking out the gorgeous view...


On the way down...

  and took a couple detours to some famous Breaking Bad sites.
