About this trip

New Mexico and Balloon Festival! 

Discover the Land of Enchantment on an unforgettable journey this fall, centered around the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, New Mexico's signature event. Enjoy Native American culture, historical Taos, stunning Santa Fe, views from Sandia Peak, loads of Nuclear history, and some of the best food you can find. This winding adventure through the expansive vistas and boundless skies of the Southwest's magnificent deserts promises an experience like no other.


At the core of this expedition lies the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, renowned as the world's largest balloon festival and a must-have on every adventurer's bucket list. Picture yourself surrounded by hundreds of vibrant balloons gracefully ascending against the backdrop of the Sandia Mountains in the serene morning light. The desert sunrise paints the sky with luminous hues as skilled pilots navigate their colorful vessels toward the heavens. Witness the Mass Ascension in the morning one day and the captivating After Glow event in the evening on another, where you can stroll amidst the balloons, their propane burners casting a twinkling glow against the deep blue canvas of the sky. This tour promises to etch indelible memories of the Southwest's expansive deserts and limitless skies.

We had a good time. Enjoyed seeing places that I never had time to visit in prior years. This trip would have been much more enjoyable if the weather had been nicer.

Absolutely excellent from pre-tour arrangements to the return trip. Everything was perfect! The location, staff and experiences were all way above any expectations I had of the trip. I would travel with Oregon West again anytime.

Tom & Joan did an excellent job of guiding and caring for us. The timing of a couple of events could use some tweaking.
