Fall is finally upon us! This is my absolute favorite time of year because it starts a non-stop season of fun practically all the way until New Years. To help you kick it off Albuquerque style, here are a short list of must-dos in order to have the perfect fall season.

1. Take a walk in the bosque.

The bosque turns into every color of fall and it is absolutely breathtaking. Plus, you get bonus points if you have a photoshoot while you're there.

2. Get yourself some roasted green chile.

Seriously, I don't think there is anything better than chile-roasting season in New Mexico. The smell is almost as amazing as the taste. Again, you get bonus points if you do the roasting or peeling yourself!

3. Attend the balloon fiesta

Miss school if you have to, the balloon fiesta is so worth it. It is the perfect photo-op and honestly no matter how many times you have been, It will still take your breathe away every mass ascension!

4. Go to McCall's Pumpkin Patch

McCall's is just a fall staple. Pumpkin picking, hayrides, and fresh cider by day, haunted house and corn maze by night. This place is the best, especially if you're a Albuquerque Native and can remember fondly going to McCall's in elementary school for field trips.

These are only a small portion of amazing and very fall-festive things to do in Albuquerque this fall: but they are personally my favorite. Happy Fall everybody!
