Cedar Crest Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

In the Sandia Mountains
Ride the tram up to Sandia Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico to see some spectacular views. 

A major bonus if you do this around hot air balloon festival week and you will see balloons hovering over the city. However the line/queue to ride the tram from the base can be quite long.
Sandia Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Views of the tram are as captivating as the views from it!
Always go on the #adventure 🌈

When we set out for this hike it was pouring rain and less than 2 hours until sunset. There was at least a 50-50 chance that we would end our hike cold, wet, and in the dark. I guess we got lucky 😉✨

8.6/10 Excellent! (2,933 reviews)
The staff was friendly and the hotel clean. However, it's very dated. Also, they don't have elevator access which they do mention in the description but if you don't carefully read what the hotel provides, you'll miss it and be surprised at check in.

What attracted me to picking this location was the unique design of the building and the detail in paying attention to American Indian heritage. Everyone was very friendly. Ample parking, beautiful views of the mountain, easy access to restaurants, Starbucks. Will definitely come back .

This is the perfect little place if you want to feel the New Mexico vibe. The complex is older, but nicely decorated and very well maintained.
