DH and I were complaining about how hot it was this morning and suddenly we realized there was somewhere we could go for a walk where it was much, much cooler.
This is the crest of the Sandia Mountains which overlook Albuquerque. The crest is around 10,700 feet and it is quite amazing what an extra 3000 feet will do to lower the temperature. It was a bit dark and rainy and unfortunately too slippery to walk over to the tram.
You can see most of Albuquerque in the distance.
This is called the steel forest and the lights on these radio towers are visible from my house and pretty much everywhere on both sides of the mountains for many miles.
The gift shop offers everything you might need, including oxygen.
