Wife's bucket list. We're going this fall.

Anyone else been?

Pointers?

Be sure you are there on a day that they do a mass ascension. Get to the grounds EARLY! Albuquerque is a great place, even without the fiesta.

Take the Turquoise Trail to Santa Fe, then the high road to Taos as time allows. Stop at Sanctuario de Chimayo if you have never seen it.

Why waste your time and money to go all the way to ABQ when this is so close by and provides pretty much the same experience? https://www.planoballoonfest.org/

I was there last year.

Make sure you are watching the balloons ascend with the rising sun at your back...looking westward.

It is an amazing site.

Born there, it's a blast, get up early for the glow at 6:30.

Be sure to take a gun or a knife so you'll have an equal chance. Albuquerque is nearly as bad as south Chicago.
