Southwest Treasures Newsletter-hot air balloons
Taos Balloon FiestaEvery year on the last full weekend of October several dozens hot air balloons fill the skies for the Taos Mountain Balloon Rally, only adding more color to the already vibrant Taos autumn. Usually, Taos has perfect perfect flying conditions that attract balloonists from all over the country. Unfortunately that morning, a mass ascension wasn’t possible because of certain weather conditions. The breezes can be fickle and on that Saturday, the hot air balloon pilots decided to move further south. They slowly trickled into town one by one. Therefore, I have yet to see a mass ascension of hot air balloons. However, that evening we received a pleasant surprise starting with the after glow.Balloon After Glow and Visiting Orbs!Do you believe in Orbs and how they just might be visiting angels?Turns out the highlight of this event was the night before with the Hot Air Balloon Glow. At dusk, the pilots start opening up their balloons and played games with the propane. Soon afterwards, other visitors showed up.
