Albuquerque allows you to experience the true Southwest, which is rich in culture and heritage. You’ll find great weather - 310 days of sunshine - perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, golf, and so much more. You will also love the view of the skyline which is set against a backdrop of the ancient Sandia Mountains and an endless blue sky. The Sandia Mountains run along the eastern side of Albuquerque, and the Rio Grande flows through the city, north to south.
