At an elevation of 10,678 feet, Sandia Crest is the highest in the Sandia Mountains. What sets this mountain range apart is there's no true summit; instead, it features a ridge line. During sunset, the vibrant colors in the sky explain why this area earned its name, which means "watermelon" in Spanish.

Sandia Crest mountains are just south of the end of the Rocky mountains, and in the Sandia-Manzano Mountain range. Sandia Crest Peak reaches a height of 10,678 feet (3,255 m) above sea level. It is known to get windy up here, and it is much colder due to the elevation and exposure. Right here at the top, there is also the Sandia Crest House Gift Shop.
