i love to fly and have done many things in the air - hanggliding, parasailing, helicopter ride - but hot air ballooning brings something unique to the table. it's a super smooth and peaceful way to get in the air, and our pilot showed incredible control of our balloon. we were able to literally skim treetops and land on a little sandbar in the middle of the rio grande before getting back up in the air. beautiful views of the sandia mountains, the river and the city. our pilot said most rides last between 45 min and 1 hour but we were able to be in the balloon for almost an hour and a half, just taking in the view, learning ballooning facts from our pilot, and taking tons of pictures and video. one note of caution as you're planning: after daylight savings (spring forward), most sunset rides are cancelled due to weather. i was hoping to go for a sunset ride but had to settle for waking up early, but the sunrise ride was great too! would do it again if i wanted to splurge! thanks rainbow ryders!

We love soaring among the clouds as much as you do, and are thrilled you gave hot air ballooning a shot! It really is a totally different experience and it always amazes us how peaceful it is once in the air.
We are thrilled we were able to share some gorgeous New Mexico views with you (bright and early) and appreciate the time you took to leave us a review. Cheers to another check off your bucket list!
