They are the premier and largest hot air balloon business serving the Southwest since 1983. Rainbow Ryders have 40 balloons in their fleet and fly out of Albuquerque, Phoenix, and The Springs. Their pilots have flown more than 50,000 hours, serving more than 750,000 passengers. All of their pilots are FAA-certified and have nearly 200 years of combined experience.so you can find one that fits your budget and interests.

Ms. Barbara's flight took off early in the morning, when the air was calm and the views were clear, as close to perfect as you could get. They soared over The Springs for about an hour. Her ride took place during the 47th Annual Colorado Springs Labor Day Lift Off. She says we will be returning to Memorial Park in September 2024 for the 48th!
