Wonder if anyone has been to the Hot Air Balloon Festival? I'm only interested in the early morning hot air balloon viewing. where is the best location for viewing?

Be prepared for a traffic problem (jam) similar to the LSU area after a football game if you go to Lamar Dixon. It took me an hour to go 3 miles last year ... and I know all of the short cuts around there. The best viewing is based on how close you want to be to them at lift off .

Climb the water tower and watch from there.

Assuming morning liftoff is from LD (not some remote location) I would go to the parking lot at Home Depot. It's across the interstate from the LD area with an un-obdtructed view of the sky in that direction.

They don't always lift off from the same place. Lift off location depends on weather conditions (wind direction and speed) and the target location. You're going to need some inside info on the actual daily competition to locate the lift off locations.
