We took two days to get from Albuquerque to Denver. We decided that I should take the tram ride out of Albuquerque up to Sandia Peak by myself. So Teri stayed at the base station while I made the 50 min round trip with instructions to take pictures. The Tram rises nearly 4000 ft in 15 minutes. With only two towers between, the span between tower two and the top is 1 1/2 miles and the highest point above the ground would clear the Eiffel Tower. Here is a link to more details should you be interested.

Here is a quick fact sheet.

| About 1/3 of the view from the deck. The black line in the middle is a shadow from a contrail. |

| View from car just before docking at the top. Can you find the shadow of the car? |
