  • Tip Rating:
  • At the American International Rattlesnake Museum we saw this albino rattlesnake. Admission to this small museum at 202 San Felipe Street was only about $2.50. They did not give us a ticket to go inside. They gave us a 'certificate of bravery'. My wife does not like snakes and she indulged me by going into this place.

    Sandia Mountains: Tinker Town is a must see...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Tinker Town is a must see place as far as I am concerned. It is hard to call it a museum and at first glance it looks like a tourist trap. It is just a fascinating example of a man's creativity. Tinker Town is surrounded by a wall made of 48,000 colored glass bottles embedded in cement. Inside are hundreds, maybe thousands, of hand carved wooden figures. Fascinating place to look around and not very expensive. It is on the road up to the Sandia Crest and Cibola National Forest.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Ski Lodge on Sandia Crest. It is possible to ride the ski lifts here but the aerial tram seemed to be a better deal.

  • Tip Rating:
  • From Sandia Crest you can see all of Albuquerque spread out in front of you. My picture of the city was not such a good one for all the haze. This is another one from Sandia Crest that I liked better.
