Travel Information
Where is Albuquerque?
| From the Albuquerque Convention and Visitor's Bureau web site, "Albuquerque's roads lead to some of the most breathtaking scenery and attractions in New Mexico. The towering Sandia Mountains are a dramatic backdrop for Petroglyph National Monument and Coronado State Monument on the west side. Get back to nature and walk along the cottonwood-lined river at the Rio Grande Nature Center or take a drive along the Sandia Crest National Scenic Byway to the summit of the Sandia Mountains and catch a sunrise or sunset, it's like nothing you've ever seen before. While you are there you won't want to miss taking a ride on the world's longest aerial tram, the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway. For more information visit www.sandiapeak.com. |
