Sandia Crest, Top of the Sandia Mountains

On a super #hot day, we decided to beat the heat by driving up to #SandiaCrest. The #Crest is 4,500 feet above #Albuquerque and at it's highest point is 10,678ft above sea level. It's a great place to cool off!

Escape Albuquerque, avoid getting murdered, heat is the least of the problem
