Hey guys,
After touring the Petrified Forest and Meteor Crater, we were ready to take a break from the scorching hot desert and spend some time relaxing. This was the plan for Albuquerque, our next destination. We stayed with Kyle, one of my friends back from college. At first we thought we wouldn’t be doing much, since what possibly is there to do in a city like Albuquerque. Well, turns out there is A LOT to do there :).
Our first day was spent doing some rock climbing at a local gym. Having never tried it before, I thought it was beyond my abilities. Yet, after receiving some instructions from my friend, it soon became one of the funnest things I’ve ever done. Afterwards, we visited the Sandia Peak Tramway – the longest one in the world. The views were simply spectacular and made me fall in love with the New Mexico outdoors.
The next day was spent relaxing and getting ready for the rest of the trip. Due to the fires in the area, most of the hiking and biking trails in the Sandia Mountains were closed, so we didn’t get to do anything crazy. But, after all the sightseeing, hiking, and blazing hot weather, an easy-going day was just what the doctor ordered. Special thanks to Kyle for being such a great host and making us feel at home!
