Old Town - If you'd like to absorb the feel of old Spanish colonial days, sit and relax as others stroll by, snack (or feast) in a unique restaurant, you'll want to visit Albuquerque's Old Town. For more information, e-mail albuquerqueoldtown@hotmail.com or visit the official web site of the Old Town Merchants Association: www.albuquerqueoldtown.com

Sandia Peak - Traversing a span of 2.7 miles, the Sandia Peak Tramway is the world's longest 'jigback' passenger tramway. Ride the Tramway to Sandia Peak where, at an elevation of 10,378 feet, you can dine in style with a panoramic view which is said to cover over 11,000 square miles. The peak is popular for skiing in the snow season and mountain biking the rest of the time. (Note: The Tramway will be closed for maintenance October 27 through November 7, 2003.) 
  Sandia Peak and the Tramway is northeast of Albuquerque. If you are on I-40, take exit 167, follow Tramway Blvd. north (about 9 miles) to the Tramway. If you are on I-25, take exit 234 and follow Tramway Rd (east) to the Tramway.
