Park and Ride - closest location to my house is the Coronado Mall. I would HIGHLY recommend using the park and ride service. Attempting to travel to the park, and pay high parking prices is NOT worth it.

This tram takes you up the Sandia mountain to the crest with wonderful views of the city, a mountain top restaurant, and for course- a gift shop. The tram is ~$25/person, but you can also drive up the mountain for free. It's about 45 min drive from my house.
