Two kinds of rodeo in Steamboat; one with cowboys/cowgirls and the other with hot air balloonists. Getting up at 5 am to catch the morning light and beautiful skies with colorful hot air balloons is almost as much fun as the cowboy rodeo. This morning was pretty spectacular starting off with a thunderstorm and wonderful rainbow. Finally the winds died down and the hot air balloonists took to the skies for a wonderful liftoff. Nice reflections in Bald Eagle Lake outside of Steamboat.
