Northeast Heights
The sheer, pink granite Sandia Mountains provide a picturesque backdrop for this sprawling area, which contains some of the newest developments within the city limits. One of Albuquerque's landmark features is the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway. For an unforgettable evening, punctuated by one of the most awe-inspiring views in the western United States, catch a ride on the tram to the top of the mountains where you can enjoy a sunset meal at the High Finance Restaurant. A drive past the opulent mansions that perch on boulder-strewn mountain foothills will take you to the hikers' Mecca of Albuquerque: Elena Gallegos Park. This welcoming hiking destination offers miles of trails through sage- and juniper-dotted hills. On the north end of the mountains, La Luz Trail winds its way to the soaring heights of Sandia Crest, where hang gliders ride warm air currents rising from the valley floor.Nightlife
