Sandia Crest
It's a great drive up to the top, provided it's not snowing!
Great views while riding in the tram up to the top. You have to drive around to the Albuquerque side of the mountain to catch the tram, and it's not free. Tip: If you make a reservation for the restaurant at the top (High Finance) the tram ticket is cheaper. The food up there is not great, but the view is spectacular! Take a coat; it's cold up there.
