Hot air balloons fill the sky for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta during the month of October, so grab a cup of hot chocolate, a burrito, and your warm gear to watch magic happen before your eyes. If waking up at 4 a.m. to watch the balloons fly at sunrise isn't your jam, go to the balloon glow at twilight instead - which, trust me, is just as breathtaking. It's easy to understand why the event is the most photographed event in the world.
