If you are traveling to Albuquerque I strongly suggest you take a hot air balloon ride with Alfred Salazar at Rainbow Ryders. His skills and expertise made it a wonderful experience. It was clear we were in good hands. I never expected to feel so calm and serene. He made it a terrific trip for me and my family.
