Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

Being right at the site is great. I actually was able to see a lot right from my dry campsite. I'd recommend going for as long as you can. I was there for 9 days and enjoyed every bit of it. You'll see balloons days before the official start of the fiesta. Getting in and out with your toad or tow vehicle is easy, depending on when. I pumped some locals and returnies for some great restaurants, non tourist, in the area. I plan on going back.
