The Red Rock Balloon Rally has been one of Gallup, New Mexico’s greatest attractions since 1980. Each December, balloonists from across the country visit Gallup’s Red Rock Park to experience the unique flying challenge offered by the park’s high red rock formations and deep canyons. With more than 200 balloons flying each year, this rally has been reported as a highly prized invitation among balloonists. It’s because of this that the Red Rock Balloon Rally has earned it’s spot as the second largest balloon rally in North America.
If the thought of observing this spectacle of lighter than air, multicolored, behemoths lumbering across the red landscape excites you, than you might be interested to know that you can join in on some of the fun. This particular rally invites attendees to volunteer to be part of the chase crews and even offer crew training for anyone who might be interested. So if you’re a hot air balloon enthusiast, contact the Red Rock Balloon Rally Association for information.
