where the famous sandia cave is located. it's in the sandia mountains
just west of Albuquerque New Mexico. the cave is in the upper right hand,
in the shadows. This is an old photo but if you look hard you might be
able to make out a series of scaffolds built up to the cave. There is actually
no way to get into cave unless you repel down to it or someway climb up
a straight rock wall. There was a metal gate across the opening to the
cave so nobody could get into it, Digging was still being done in the cave.
Trees leaned over would not be able to reach cave entrance and modern day
extension ladders would probibly not reach as cave is close to 50 ft. straight
up bluff. Scaffolding now allows people to get up to cave and I dont know
if it is open to public now or not. it is in a really dangerous place.
Check out the beautiful view.
