Adventure Awaits With Colorado Hot Air Balloon Rides

By Mattie Knight


The dream of flying up and away can become a reality. Reserve your Colorado Hot Air Balloon Rides year round, even in the winter months. Surprisingly, the temperature will be around thirty five degrees warmer in flight than on land. Winter Park, CO offers the rides at a reasonable rate.

It is a thrill to see a group of balloons preparing for flight. The enormous balloons display magnificent colors, each with a unique pattern. The sight is a geometric array of the colors of the rainbow. The excitement builds as passengers climb into the basket for take off. If the thought of sky diving has ever crossed your mind, this adventure could be a good place to start.

Colorado is a state known for its natural beauty and magnificent mountain ranges. It is hard to say which would be more beautiful, your birds eye view of snow capped peaks or the sight of wild flowers blooming all around. Imagine what it would feel like to see the colorful landscape as you effortlessly float high above the ground.

Winter Park offers low flying balloon rides where passengers can see wildlife animals roaming free in their natural habitat. Everyone has heard of the Grand Canyon, but the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountain range is just as amazing. Most people are struck with awe at the magnificence of nature.

A pre flight champagne toast will set the mood. Seeing planet earth from this vantage point is not like anything you have experience before. This is an opportunity within the financial reach of most people. In fact, you may enjoy your first ride so much that you promptly book your second ride.

Ballooning combines art and science. Each flight has a pilot experienced and licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration. Passengers can be reassured that the pilot has the knowledge to provide a safe experience. The first take off is subject to the time of sunrise; the start of a new day when the air is crisp and clean.

Like sailing, ballooning harnesses the wind to travel. Essentially, the balloon travels wherever the wind takes it. Experienced sailors may have a unique understanding of the process. The wind is unpredictable and to some extent makes the exact landing spot uncertain. Something called a chase vehicle follows the flight path on land. One reason for the presence of the car and its driver is to takes passengers back to their own vehicles at the end of the flight. The on land crew is trained to assist with landings and to quickly pack up the gear for transporting back to the take off site.

There is no need to wait any longer to have this wonderful adventure. Reservations are available on the Winter Park websites. Imagine a magic carpet ride where you float through the sky taking in all the beauty that cannot be seen from a ground view. There is no reason to wait for a special occasion. Make the balloon ride the special occasion.
