Description
Albuquerque, New Mexico holds an international hot air balloon event every year with over 500 balloons. And beginning the first week in October and lasting over a week there can be up to 100,000 spectators.
The main event for me was the Mass Ascensions, a launch of all the participating balloons . During mass ascensions, balloons launch in two waves. The launch begins at about 7:00 AM and susally takes at least 2 hours for all the balloons to lift. The other unique thing about Albuquerque is that it is in what is called a box. This means that the balloons if the conditions are right will lift off then drift off but can make a loop and land in the launch area.
