🎈 Albuquerque, New Mexico Travel

A must-do experience in life! ✅ Bucket list officially checked. 🎈 Rainbow Ryders 📍 5601 Eagle Rock Ave NE, Albuquerque, NM 87113 (Also located in Phoenix and Colorado) 💰 $230 per person 🕕 6:00 - 9:30 AM I spontaneously looked up hot air balloon rides during my Thanksgiving trip to New Mexico—and luckily found availability for the sunrise slot! 🌅 Snagged it right away. At first, I was a little nervous as we ascended, but everything felt calm and stable once we reached higher altitude 😌 Even my friend who’s afraid of heights joined and had an amazing time! When the first rays of sunlight hit the balloons… it was pure magic ✨ That moment alone made the whole experience worth it. Our pilot, Mike, was hilarious and super experienced 🧑‍✈️ During landing, we almost bumped into another balloon—so he had to make a quick detour and land us in a local park… right in someone’s front yard 😂 After landing, we celebrated with champagne 🍾 They made fresh mimosas on the spot—so tasty! We even got a cute souvenir: a mini hot air balloon made from a champagne cork ❤️‍🔥 #NewMexico #NewMexicoTravel #Albuquerque #HotAirBalloon #BalloonRide #BucketList #TravelInspiration #DivasHitTheRoad
