Balloons Over The Rio Grande Gorge

This morning there were two hot air balloons visible just west of our campsite.  The balloons are operated by local companies that offer rides into the Rio Grande Gorge.  Our neighbor here at Monte Bello took one of the rides with his wife.  At one point the balloon basket actually drags through the river for a short distance!  We were somewhat interested, until finding out that the cost is $220 per person for about a 45 minute ride.  You do get free champagne at the end of the ride though.
