ALBUQUERQUE BALLOON FIESTA
OCTOBER 4-13 10 DAYS/9 NIGHTS
The American Southwest is one of our National Treasures by itself and is only enhanced with its world-famous fantastic festival, the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta! The sight of over 700 balloons rising in the morning light with the Rocky Mountains, as a backdrop is one you will remember for the rest of your life. Our tour will begin with an overnight stop in Brentwood, Tennessee, before traveling on to Little Rock, AR for our second night and a chance to visit the impressive Bill Clinton Presidential Library. Regardless of your politics, it is an interesting way to spend an afternoon. Continuing into Oklahoma for our third overnight, we’ll stop along the way to visit the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, which has an entire Western town inside! Moving further into the true Southwest, we’ll arrive in Albuquerque for a three-night stay at our hotel within walking distance of the famous Plaza in Old Town Albuquerque for a chance to experience the cuisine and browse through the turquoise and other truly western souvenirs. Throughout our stay in New Mexico, we’ll see morning ascension of the balloons, as well as an evening “Glowdeo” in which the balloons are lit against the night sky. A side trip to nearby historic Santa Fe will be made complete with a stop at the Loretto Chapel to see the miraculous staircase.
