Reno's skies will be a lot more colorful this weekend, despite the ongoing haze of wildfire smoke.
The Great Reno Balloon Race is celebrating its 43rd anniversary this Friday through Sunday.
And while hot-air balloons will be visible on the horizon throughout most of the Truckee Meadows, the best views are from up close at Rancho San Rafael Park, which draws thousands of spectators every year.
