Gallup's annual balloon festival, the Red Rock Balloon Rally is not to be missed. With balloons skipping over red rock cliffs from one canyon to the next, Native American dancing around a bonfire and a beautiful balloon glow at night, this event is sure to please. Our photo gallery gives you a thrilling view of this unique and beautiful event, held annually the first weekend in December. All photos copyright: Elizabeth R. Mitchell
