Colorado Hot Air Balloons

With Colorado's high altitude, it's perfect for sending hot air balloons into the Colorado skies. Here are seven great events happening across the state to see them rise.

Labor Day weekend in Windsor will bring the annual Harvest Festival and with that, the annual hot air balloon rally.

The first weekend of summer for 2022 will bring one of Colorado's best hot air balloon festivals, right in the Fort Collins area's own backyard.

The unofficial last weekend of summer will bring a gathering of 70 hot air balloons to Colorado Springs, with the annual "Labor Day Liftoff."

When people head to the Gunnison Valley in spring and summer it's not only for the fishing, mountain biking, hiking, boating, etc: there's also the Balloon Rally.

One of the most picturesque places in Colorado holding an event that begs for beautiful photos, sounds perfect.

For over 45 years, people have made their way to Snowmass Village for the annual Balloon Festival. The event kicks off with the balloon glow at night.

As a Fort Collins local, I am always looking for new, adventurous outdoor activities. Spirit of Colorado offers a great option for a romantic date or a scenic experience with friends and family.

If what happened to this witness happened to me, I'm pretty sure I'd consider it a happy accident. It sounds fun.

You know how traffic at 8:30 in the morning always goes just a little too smoothly, right?  Well, a certain hot air balloon was sure to fix that yesterday!
