Sandia Peak
The longest tram ride in the country - about 15 min each way - took us up to a 15,000 ft. elevation! From the top, we could see all the way to Texas!
The ride was beautiful to the top of the mountain (which used to be under water...okay, the water wasn't above 15,000 ft. but the mountain used to be on the sea bed. New Mexicans like to say it like this so they sound cool). New Mexico was surprisingly cold - worse than New York - but also dry, so I was very excited that the mountain tops finally had some snow!
Food
Okay, New Mexican food is... Mexican food with chile on top. EVERYTHING comes with either green or red Chile and you have to specify. Pretty much every restaurant has giant 2000 calorie plates of tacos, tamales, enchiladas, chile rellenos, cheese, rice, and beans.
Los Cuates - AND the best sopapillas! It's kind of like a tortilla/donut that you fill with honey. mmmm....
