Amarillo Invitational Balloon Rally Pirates of the Canyon
October 26 - October 28, 2012
Palo Duro Canyon State Park
Amarillo,
TX
United States
4th weekend October
Thank you for joining us for our Annual Amarillo Invitational Balloon Rally "Pirates of the Canyon" to benefit the March of Dimes.
"Pirates of the Canyon" was created for spectators, pilots and crews. Palo Duro Canyon, the second largest canyon on the continent, is generally restricted from aircraft which makes this event a very unique experience. Park Rangers open the state park for this rare treat to combine the beautiful colors of hot air balloons with the majestic backdrop of the canyon. This is how we all become pirates. We set our giant sails in the center of the open canyon and drift slowly, stealing the sights and forever holding them as our own treasures.
Over the past four years, Pirates has grown considerably. We started out with only six balloons and have rapidly grown to thirty. Thanks to the Amarillo and Canyon public, Pirates of the Canyon will continue to grow in the years to come.
