Rainbow Ryders

The Experience of a Lifetime, Happening Right Now!TM

The adventure begins when Rainbow Ryders picks you up at the Inn at sunrise. From there we proceed to our launch site where the action begins. We inflate the hot air balloons giving you the opportunity to become involved "hands on" as a crew member and help with the balloon inflation, or you may sit back, observe and take pictures as the gentle giant comes alive. At lift off you embark upon a journey of uniqueness. Enjoy breathtaking views of the majestic Sandia Mountains and Rio Grande Valley while floating in the sky and sending greetings to earthbound Albuquerque folks below. After landing, enjoy a champagne toast to end your safe and memorable adventure. You will be presented with a flight certificate and balloon flight pin to commemorate your aeronautical experience. Make sure you bring your camera and extra film-you will need it. Reservations must be made in advance at http://booking.rainbowryders.com/rb/.

Tours of Old Town

Ghost Tour of Old Town Legends, folklore, ghost stories and history come to life as you depart on an intriguing excursion through 300 years of haunted history. Old Town was founded in 1706, and for more than three centuries people have lived and died around the Old Town Plaza. The historic buildings and dark alleys conceal the long-forgotten secrets of battles, murders, hangings, and hidden cemeteries. Professional Tour Guides escort you on a 90-minute, lantern-lit adventure. You will search for the lost souls of early residents, Civil War phantoms, spooks, specters, wandering apparitions and over one dozen other ghosts who have made Old Town their eternal home. http://www.toursofoldtown.com/ghosttour.php
