Best Answer: A tethered hot air balloon flight will typically be between 50-75 feet. It's high enough for the passengers to get a feel for the height and manageable enough for rope length.

From 13 Balloons in 1972 to Biggest Balloon Event in the World. The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta has amassed facts, figures, and history since 13 hot air balloons launched from a shopping center parking lot in Albuquerque in 1972. The 2017 Balloon Fiesta takes place Oct. 7 through Oct. 15, and 700 hot air balloons will take to the air from Balloon Fiesta Park. The winds and currents in Albuquerque make for perfect hot air ballooning conditions, and the weather in early October provides gorgeous sunny days and cool mornings, also perfect for getting a balloon off the ground.
