    5200 ft to 10,678 ft is a fantastic trip! I've done many times during different seasons and it never gets old!

    Miss living in ABQ, loved the view from the Ventana Ranch area.

    A few years ago we flew to Albuquerque fron NH in April. After getting our rental we did this trip. Somewhere around 8,000 ft elevation we ran into snow. Allwe could think of was after all that flying we are back in New Hampshire.

    Oh how I miss New Mexico! Although I visit once and awhile, I'd really love to return someday. For now, I live in Glendale, Arizona. It will never be home.

    The West side of the Sandias is all desert and cacti. But the East side is pine forest and cooler. I used to like to go hiking on the Sandia crest in the summertime to escape the heat. A couple times I parked at the bottom of the Tramway and hiked to the top, then rode the Tramway back down to my car.

    Thankyou for filming this road trip for me when I visit Albuquerque in a few months. Now I will not waste my time, & lunch, by traveling more than 1 mile from my chosen Hotel & everywhere I desire to visit. Maybe? You may sell DVD’s of these travels to AAA members or maybe mc members to drink beer by, while watching these travels.

    I love how the city is sunny, yet as soon as you near the mountains it becomes cloudy.

    It would be nice to take a downhill run. I will be looking forward to it when I go this summer to visit from Chicago.

      Wow that must have been some time ago. The first time I rode up to the Sandia Crest was when I was in High school (1969) and it was hard top.

    Somewhere along that Winding Road there's a big I guess Loop where people used to go inner tubing in the winter back in the day

    Would have liked it more had it been slower so I could have enjoyed all the places and road signs ect., where I was born and raised.

    3 ways to get to the crest! Down I-25 North and take the road that runs by the casino. I-40 exit to the Tram. And the backside of the Sandia Mountain on Hwy 14!

    About 5:30 or so, I think there used to be an upscale restaurant on the left that I worked at for a couple years in high school. This was a very cool idea bro...

    You need to do one when it snows.

  • @MadlyDecent
    @MadlyDecent 12 років тому +1

    It isn't that bad. I think it depends on age. If you are getting out of high school you probably want to leave as fast as you can. Otherwise, it's a nice place to live.

    From the airport even. This definitely shows the Crazy NM weaver drivers. "I'm in the far left lane and need to exit in 4 seconds on the right at San Mateo."

  • @hea.elizabethajovsky222
    @hea.elizabethajovsky222 7 років тому

    I'm sure I can look it up. But could someone that maybe already knows tell me how long this takes in real time? Clearly with how fast it plays on the turns near the very top, this has been sped up.

    • @takemytrip
      @takemytrip  7 років тому

      If I remember correctly, it's about an hour, maybe a little more, depending on your level of comfort with mountain driving.

      Probably will not see them very well. The crest is very high up.

      Technically yesbut all you would see is dots. Sandia crest is at 10,000 ft elevation. Way way high up.
