Sandia Mountains Part III: Timing is everything. From Sandia Peak, I managed to catch the sunset at the perfect window, with the clouds at its most vibrant color. The orange hues peak out for a few minutes across the sky before fading into softer colors and into grayness.

Sandia Mountains Part II: A breathtaking vantage point of the Albuquerque desert and city view from the Sandia tramway as we descend down during the twilight hour.
From this level, we have visibility into more than just the city--the outside landscape can be seen from the distance, creating a birds-eye perspective of the New Mexico area.

Sandia Mountains Part I: The best time to descend from the Sandia Peak? Right around sunset, as the sky jumps from sunset to twilight, into dusk.
It was quite an impressive scene going from 10,000 feet above sea level to 4,000 feet in a tramway, catching the scatters of lights, colors, and changes in terrain as we navigate rocky mountains of all shapes and textures to the desert and cityscape views.
