The annual Indio Hot Air Balloon Festival was held on the first weekend of January. Unfortunately, the winds didn't cooperate and they were only able to have one flight en masse because of wind conditions. They were unable to do the Moon Glow event where the balloons are inflated, but remain tethered while their propane burners are fired-up causing them to glow through from the inside out. It certainly would have been very impressive!
The first 2 pictures were taken from our front gate looking over to the field next to Fantasy Springs Hotel and Casino where the balloons prepared for lift-off.
See the slide show as the balloons take flight. You should be able to click open one of the pictures in the slide show and then continue to view them one by one. This is probably the best way to go as captions have been added and you can enlarge the pics if you wish.
