Description:
For nine days in October, the New Mexico skies are painted as hundreds of balloons lift off from Albuquerque's Balloon Fiesta Park. Nothing rivals the power of mass ascension on a crisp early morning as these graceful giants leave the ground to take their place in the cerulean desert sky. View the mass ascension as over 800 balloon ascend at one time and the Special Shapes Glow. Additional highlights include a thrilling panoramic view of Albuquerque and the Rio Grande Valley on the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway, Old Town, San Felipe de Neri Church and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Then it's only a short drive to Santa Fe, the oldest seat of government in the United States, where you will visit the Palace of the Governors and Historic Square.
