DAY 5 | Mass Ascension/Albuquerque <strong>Tour</strong>/Old<br />
Town/Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (B, D)<br />
It’s the day you’ve been waiting for-the mass<br />
ascension at the Albuquerque International Balloon<br />
Fiesta. Watch as giant beach balls fill the sky. Your<br />
local guide will take you on a tour of Albuquerque<br />
Ron Behrmann<br />
to point out its rich history to include Route 66, Old<br />

Ron Behrmann<br />
DAY 6 | Special Shapes Rodeo/Acoma Pueblo/<br />
International Balloon Museum/Evening Glowdeo<br />
(B, L)<br />
This morning, witness the Special Shape Rodeo where<br />
hundreds of specialty balloons fill the sky. Imagine a<br />
giant pig, a stagecoach, a space shuttle, and even<br />
Uncle Sam. Today, visit an actual Indian Pueblo-<br />
Acoma (Sky City). Set atop a 357 ft. high mesa,<br />
Acoma is one of the largest adobe structures in North<br />
America. Native American Indians live in more than<br />
250 dwellings without water and electricity. Visit the<br />
International Balloon Museum; it embraces the spirit of<br />
adventure through interactive exhibits about balloon<br />
flight dating back to the early 1700s. This evening,<br />
head back over to the balloon field for the evening<br />
Glowdeo. The magic of the New Mexico sky lights up<br />
when pilots inflate their balloons that look like giant<br />
holiday ornaments.<br />

Leave Albuquerque with fond memories of your<br />
International Balloon Fiesta experience. Make your<br />
way back to Denver where, this evening, you’ll enjoy<br />

Overnight Lakewood, CO<br />

It’s time to head home after a trip that’s taken you from<br />
the rugged terrain of the San Juan Mountains to the<br />
heights of the hot air balloons in Albuquerque.<br />
