With its stunning landscapes and exciting activities, this vibrant neighborhood offers an array of adventures that capture the essence of New Mexico’s natural beauty.

At the heart of the Heights experience is the iconic Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway, renowned as North America’s longest aerial tram. This exhilarating journey takes you from the base to the pinnacle of the Sandia Mountains, offering unparalleled vistas of the city and its surroundings.

The northeast side of town is a year-round playground, beckoning you to explore the great outdoors.

When the weather warms, the same trails become pathways for hiking and mountain biking, providing a thrilling challenge for adventurers of all levels.

For those seeking a more leisurely experience, the foothills of the Sandia Mountains offer perfect spots for picnics and tranquil walks. Take a serene stroll or embark on the La Luz trail, a challenging ascent from the foothills to the mountain’s summit, rewarding you with stunning panoramas along the way.

When you’re finished with your day of outdoor adventures, try one of the dozens of restaurants on this side of town!
