Bluff International Balloon Festival
January 17 – 19, 2025
Celebrating Our 26th Year in 2025
The Bluff International Balloon Festival is an extraordinary event that includes a morning launch at the Valley of the Gods where the sunrise that I witnessed in 2022 was so marvelous that I had a new understanding why this part of Utah has its name.    
Lodging options in Bluff have expanded since my last visit.  
My favorite continues to be the Desert Rose Resort & Cabins.  
The photos below are from the 2022 event.
