Experience Real Beauty With Colorado Hot Air Balloon Rides

By Mattie Knight


You have not really lived until you have experienced the adventure of Colorado hot air balloon rides. The actual flight lasts for about one hour, but the thrill begins as you drive up to the take off site. Reservations are available any time of year, with winter trips having their own kind of pure, untouched natural beauty. Winter Park, CO is the perfect place for this adventurous day.

Just the sight of these enormous balloons is thrilling. Always alive with bright colors, each one has its own design. You cannot help but wonder what it would feel like to actually be in the basket with a group of friends. People who would love to go sky diving but are too afraid to try it, may have a special appreciation of the experience.

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.

The Winter Park flights provide passengers with some benefits of being closer to the ground. You can be close enough to the wildlife to really experience the thrill of seeing an animal in its own environment. This sure beats going to the zoo. A close up view of animals running across the Continental Divide is a thrilling experience.

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 is both a science and an art. Your experienced pilot will explain some finer points and answer commonly asked questions. Weather is a critical factor, and early start times are recommended. Actual start times are based on the sunrise, so the date of your ride will dictate the time of take off.

Sailors will appreciate that ballooning uses the power of wind to move through the sky. Hot air balloons travel wherever the wind takes them. The skill of the pilot helps determine the course. Since the wind is unpredictable, the flight is followed by a chase vehicle. That crew will be at the landing site to assist with the landing and to pack up the equipment. The chase vehicle is also needed to transport the passengers back to the take off site and to their own cars.

Why wait any longer to live this dream? Go to the Winter Park website and make your reservations for a great adventure that has been compared to a magic carpet ride. Spectators can arrive early to view the rainbow of colors as they expand upon inflation. Set against the Rocky Mountains, this flight preparation is a sight to behold. You may want to celebrate an anniversary or a birthday, or maybe the adventure will just be on a whim as you seize the day. In either case this will be a day to remember for years to come.
