| Located at the top of the 10,000-foot Sandia Peak, High Finance offers a spectacular panorama of the city lights, the Rio Grande and the dozens of ancient volcanic plugs that stretch away on the horizon to the west. Look the other direction and you'll swear you can see east all the way to Texas. Just don't bother looking at the ho-hum American menu, a mishmash of bar snacks and square meals. Instead, slake your thirst at the bar until you get your fill of the view, then head back down the Sandia Peak Tramway for a better meal at a lower altitude. (Except for a chairlift, it’s the only way to reach the restaurant---but even if it weren’t, the tram’s the way to go for the view you came for.) |
