Had a great morning taking the Sandia Peak Tramway from 6100’ to 10,600’. Got to watch a someone parasail up another 1000’ and will be sailing for 3 to 5 hours.
Rare "cloud sandwich" between two separate layers of clouds, said to happen every 5 years or so.
Typically gorgeous sunset in Albuquerque during the late-summer monsoon season. Never fails to amaze!
