Cedar Crest

A folk art museum featuring thousands of miniature, wood-carved creations including animated figures, instruments, animals and objects, miniature Western towns, carnivals, Old West memorabilia, old-fashioned arcade machines, dolls, antique tools and more.

During the winter, you can ski or snowboard at Sandia Peak. The ski season is typically mid-December to mid-March, depending on the seasonal amount of snowfall. There are 30 trails with four chairlifts and two surface lifts, and a terrain park. Most of the facilities are at the bottom of the slope (which is accessible by road), including a cafeteria, ski school, the equipment rental shop, and a sports equipment shop. At the top of the hill is access to the Sandia Peak Tramway from Albuquerque (see the "See" section on that guide). Presuming there's enough snow at the top, you can take the tramway (skiers get a discount on tramway tickets, but you have to bring your own equipment); otherwise, you have to drive.
