• Sandia Mountains - The adventure begins at 5:30 AM at El Verde Inn, where the team will welcome you and offer restrooms, light snacks, and private ground transportation to the optimal launch site selected on the morning of your flight, based on the current weather and wind conditions. Unlike shared flights, this experience is entirely private from beginning to end: no strangers, no interruptions — just you, your loved ones, and your pilot. Before takeoff, you will witness the captivating inflation of your balloon and receive a safety briefing from an FAA-Certified Pilot. Once in the air, you will gently ascend above the Rio Grande Valley, enjoying expansive views of Albuquerque’s high desert beauty — from the rugged Sandia Mountains to the gentle curves of the river below. The sunrise casts a golden glow over the landscape, creating unforgettable photos and moments.
