Day One

• Rendezvous with your Blue Sky Adventures tour guide at the Albuquerque Sunport airport or train station
  
  
  
• Lunch at Blakes Lotta’ Burger, a tasty New Mexico tradition. Try the green chile cheeseburger -it’s a local favorite!
  
  
  
• Experience the Manhattan Project and learn about it’s secret cities and scientists; see “Fat Man” and “Little Boy” nuclear bombs from World War II at the National Atomic Bomb Museum
  
  
• Walking tour of lively, historic Old Town Albuquerque, established in 1706 and the heart of the wild west in it’s day (stores, street entertainers, historic and cultural sites, native American artists)
  
  

  
  
  

• Trip to the top of Sandia Peak; a breath taking ride on the worlds longest aerial tramway to the 10,400 foot mountain peak
  
  
• At the summit of Sandia Peak, we will hike about a mile along the mountain ridge to the “Stone Hut” built in the 1930’s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. This is a fantastic hike with unparalleled vistas of the Rio Grande Valley and it provides a great way to quickly acclimate to the affects of higher elevations

• Dinner is good food and lots of it---an “all you can eat” buffet with a Southwest theme!
  
  
• Check in to the beautiful Marriott Pyramid hotel in Albuquerque (indoor/outdoor pool, two hot tubs, gift shop, fitness center, game room) where the fun doesn’t stop!
  
  
• Spend the evening pool side or in the game room or play board games, ping pong or basketball with your crew members and other Scouts from all over the country---this is some Scout trip!
