About albuquerque
A Remarkable City
Nestled between the towering Sandia Mountains and the Rio Grande
Valley, the city of Albuquerque is rich with culture and heritage,
breathtaking landscape and equipped with vibrant energy. Year
after year people visit the city to enjoy Albuquerque's quality
of life. Albuquerque's temperate climate and extensive attractions
draw skiers, museum-goers, balloonists, and adventure-seekers
of all kinds. The proximity to both mountains and rivers and central
location along both old Route 66 and, later, Interstate 40 have
been attracting people to the area for years. Some have stayed
for a few days, some for a lifetime, but nearly everyone who's
ever been here has wonderful things to say about the city.
Sunshine, Sunshine, and more Sunshine!
The sun shines more than 300 days a year in Albuquerque! Average
winter daytime highs are in the upper 40s to low 50s Fahrenheit
while dropping into the mid 20s F overnight. The occasional snowfall
often melts by the mid-afternoon. Summer daytime highs are normally
in the low to mid 90s F while dropping into the pleasant 60s F
overnight, and the heat is quite tolerable because of low humidity.
Sandia Mountains
The Sandia Mountains — named for the watermelon red the mountains
turn at dusk - are the predominant geographical feature visible
in Albuquerque. The Sandias include Sandia Peak and are situated
to the East of the city. The Sandia Peak Tramway runs from the
base of the mountain to the peak, and is the longest single span
aerial tramway in the world.
Relax and Enjoy
Known for abundant sunshine and panoramic views under an eternal
blue sky, Albuquerque is at the heart of New Mexico's attractions.
Ride the world famous Sandia Tramway for skiing, golf along the
Rio Grande, take a wine tour through the oldest wine country in

rest and relax…we can meet your needs with warm southwestern
