Sandia Crest Scenic Byway is a mile above the surrounding countryside and 2 miles above sea level. The all-weather, paved Sandia Crest Highway (NM 536) is the highest scenic drive in the southwest.

The Sandia Mountains were created by an uplift, leaving the forested eastern slope visitors will drive up, and a craggy, cliff-like western face. Part of the Cibola National Forest, the Sandias are home to Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, mule deer, black bear and many other mammals and birds-including the golden eagles visitors may see soaring at the crest.
