If you find yourself in Albuquerque, NM with a camera there is one spot you cannot afford to miss if you want the best sunset photographs. That is Sandia Peak northeast of the city. There is a tram that will take you the 2.7 miles to the top of the 10,378 foot Sandia Peak. That will cost you $20 plus $1 to park, well worth it! I went in December right at sunset. That time of year requires keeping a few things in mind. 1) It is 20-30 degrees cooler at the top than at the base, and very windy. So it was about 15-20 degrees. 2) The ski slopes close at 4 so there are very long waits for the tram back down the mountain, 2-3 hours if you go right at sunset when the slopes are emptying. But still I say the spectacular sunsets make it well worth it. I have not gone in the summer (yet), but it might be a bit easier (and warmer).
