It’s someone’s birthday today! Happy 60th to our beloved Sandia Peak Tramway! 🚠🥳

Three generations of tramcars have traveled up the same mountain, yet somehow every ride feels like a different experience every time. What started as a vision to connect people to the mountain has connected people to so much more, amazing views, special moments, unforgettable days, and memories shared across generations.

With more than 13 million passengers carried since 1966, we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of the journey and we look forward to many more years ahead.

Come celebrate with us this weekend and enjoy 60% off Tram tickets on May 9 and 10! There’s never been a better time to experience the mountain with us. Here’s to 60 years of unforgettable rides, incredible views, and memories made above Albuquerque!
