As you know, Balloon Fiesta 2020 has been cancelled. And New Mexico has closed all the parks and issued a mandatory quarantine of two weeks for anyone who enters New Mexico. That obviously would make a caravan into New Mexico not viable. While that is two months away, if the state re-opens we can do the caravan. But if not, it will be cancelled. We will keep you updated on the status of the Three State Caravan.
Three State Caravan- This is a laid-back caravan in which you can travel at your own pace and join/leave as your schedule permits. Beautiful scenery, great New Mexican cuisine, cooler weather and the fantastic smell of roasting chili peppers are sure to make this a trip to remember. This rally ends in Albuquerque, New Mexico just before the start of Balloon Fiesta National Airstream Rally.
