We were up before 5 this morning, and on our way to the Balloon Fiesta by 5:45. We parked and rode a school bus from one of the designated parking lots, arriving at the Balloon Fiesta Park by 6:30. We watched from the Fiesta Field over the next two hours as hundreds of hot air balloons lifted off. The sky was cloudy but gave way to more sun. It was a spectacular sight! Going to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is about the most bang for $12 you can get anywhere! We enjoyed every moment.
