The Sandia Peak Tramway is an aerial tramway, adjacent to Albuquerque, New Mexico. It stretches from the northeast edge of the city to Sandia Peak, on the ridge line of the Sandia Mountains[1] and has the world's third longest single span.[2] It is the longest aerial tram in the Americas, and was the longest in the world from 1966 until being surpassed in 2010 by the Wings of Tatev in Armenia.[citation needed]
^The upper station of the tramway is at a point on the main crest of the Sandia Mountains at elevation 10,378 feet (3,163 m), about 1.5 mi (2.4 km) south of Sandia Crest, the high point of the range. The operators of the Tramway term this point "Sandia Peak"; but this is not an official name, and it is not a "peak" in the sense of having any topographic prominence.
