At least one balloon pilot took up a Navajo mom and her two kids, but in general they were not offering rides. The gondolas were pretty small and could only hold four max, including the pilot. I'd love to fly in one!

edit: Oh, there was also a guy there with a one man balloon rig without a traditional gondola. That was super cool!
