Ballooning

Recreating in New Mexico is always rewarding, in part because more than 45% of the Land of Enchantment is public land, we’re blessed with 320+ days of sunshine, and the elevation ranges from 2,817 feet where the Pecos River flows into Texas to the highest point on Wheeler Peak at 13,161 feet. Ballooning in New Mexico is thrilling for some of these very same reasons. As well, our skies are big here, and the cool morning air temperature helps balloons rise faster and handle better. You’ll find pilots with decades of experiences and thousands of flight hours who beckon you with their safety records and contagious enthusiasm for hot air ballooning. Book a private trip into the sky or share a ride. You’re bound to learn a lot from your bird’s-eye vantage point!
