We found this family-run business by chance and we're so grateful we chose to experience this once in a lifetime/bucket list thang with Elevated New Mexico. Justin and Keshia and team made it a seamless and really enjoyable experience. We launched from the same site as other experience providers, but because the Elevated New Mexico team appear to be a smaller and less commercialized outfit, our family arrived with the team already having set up for the flight, and we watched the balloon inflate and were in the air immediately after sunrise. We got to see the sun rise above the mountains whilst in flight, while others were still getting off the ground.
We also greatly appreciated that Justin shared some history about hot air-ballooning and that this was a deliberate focus of the experience. Best part of our NM trip! read more
