This unique section of river offers a variety of class I-III+ Rapids in a 5-mile stretch. Making it a perfect trip for those seeking a half-day trip! There will be sections of calm water between the rapids to take in the views and the stunning canyon.

Watch daylight appear above the Rio Grand Valley during a sunrise hot air balloon ride from Albuquerque, and see the first rays illuminate the rugged Sandia Mountains. Take in stunning aerial views and dip low enough to skim the Rio Grande, then rise back up above the desert landscape. Touch town after a 1-hour flight, and begin the day with sparkling wine before returning to your launch site.

Albuquerque is famed for its hot air balloon festival, so there's no better place to take to the skies. Rather than crowding into a basket with strangers, enjoy a personalized experience with this private hot air balloon flight.
