![SHOT 12/31/10 11:29:26 AM - The Sandia Mountains are a mountain range located in Bernalillo and Sandoval counties, immediately to the east of the city of Albuquerque in New Mexico in the southwestern United States. The range is largely within the Cibola National Forest, and part of the range is protected as the Sandia Mountain Wilderness. It is home to the Sandia Peak Ski Area. Its highest point is Sandia Crest, 10,678 feet (3,255 m). Sandía means watermelon in Spanish,[2] and is popularly believed to be a reference to the reddish color of the mountains at sunset.[3] Also, when viewed from the west, the profile of the mountains is a long ridge, with a thin zone of green conifers near the top, suggesting the "rind" of the watermelon. The Sandia Mountains are home to the world's longest tramway, which is 2.7 miles (4.3 km) long. Over this distance the tram cars ascend over 4,000 feet (1,200 m) feet. The Sandia Mountains are the most visited range in New Mexico. Numerous hiking trails exist on both sides of the range, such as the popular La Luz Trail and Crest Trail. Much of the west side of the range is included in the Sandia Mountain Wilderness; the trails on that side are steeper, and water is very scarce. Numerous picnic and recreation sites can be found on NM 536. Albuquerque is the largest city in the state of New Mexico. It is the county seat of Bernalillo County and is situated in the central part of the state, straddling the Rio Grande. in 2009 the city's population was 528,497 according to U.S. census estimates which ranks it as the 34th-largest city in the U.S. As of June 2007, the city was the sixth fastest-growing in America. The Sandia Mountains run along the eastern side of Albuquerque, and the Rio Grande flows through the city, north to south..(Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2010)](https://www.marcpiscotty.com/img-get2/I0000BxPgOUBqgGk/fit=180x180/fill=/g=G0000xHqZTY03sBI/I0000BxPgOUBqgGk.jpg)
