We are from NH and with buildings and trees everywhere you never see the full sky but out there its like a panaramic view. Actually I'll attach a few pics from my moms backyard. You can see albequerque in the distance and the immediate houses are all Rio Rancho. Its a great place, cool in the winter but not freezing, hot in the summer but not humid. The only thing I don't like is the windy season. too windy for me, annoys the heck out of me. Otherwise awesome place. Great clean air too. I love the hot air balloons. Everytime I stay with my mom I just sit outside in the early morning and drink my coffee watching hot air balloons, Im sooo intrigued, what a beautiful sight. Even in the dead of winter they are out there early morning! LOVE IT! I even flew my dogs with me the last time I went! FUN!
Here are some pics! (those mountains are the Sandia mountains! aweomse sight!)
The 3rd pic is snowing on the Sandia moutains - but we never got touched with it in Rio Rancho
4th pic is Rio Rancho all the way out to Albequerque! Pretty awesome sight at night, my camera can't get it, its all just twinkling lights forever and ever! |
Great Pics, Rio Rancho is north and we will be east of Albuquerque, but the mountains are what we see from the back yard (assuming the house plan stays the same)
