Cave Creek Road north of Union Hills Road Driving in north Phoenix late in the afternoon, you might spot a brightly colored hot-air balloon lazily floating across the sky. And then another. If you keep looking, you'll eventually see a whole procession of balloons heading to the northeast as the sun dips low in the western sky. If you drive north along Cave Creek Road, you'll come to the big fields where the balloons land.
Some people even bring blankets.
