Albuquerque Santa Fe, NM, October 27, 2026 —
KRQE anchor Dean Staley participated in a hike in the Sandia Mountains toward the Sandia Peak Tramway, in a segment featured on the Enchanted Trails program. The outing offered views of Albuquerque and perspectives of the tram from along the hike.
The available information identifies the general setting and the program, but does not provide the date the hike took place or when the segment was broadcast. It also does not specify the route, the hike’s distance or duration, or how many people took part. No additional details about the segment’s production or its purpose were provided.
The summary describes the hike as heading toward the Sandia Peak Tramway; it does not say that Staley rode the tram or reached a particular destination. It likewise does not identify a starting point or give details about trail conditions. Those specifics cannot be established from the information available.
The reported focus is the experience of approaching the tram through the Sandia Mountains and seeing Albuquerque from the hiking route. The segment was associated with Enchanted Trails, but no description of the program’s format, audience, or other episodes was included. No direct statements or quotations from Staley or other participants were provided.
Further information about the date, route and broadcast timing was not included in the summary. The account therefore establishes that Staley took part in the hike and that the experience was featured on the program, while leaving those additional details unspecified.
