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.

The balloons themselves are a beautiful sight. Rarely will you have the chance to see such an expanse of vivid colors in breath taking patterns. Think how much fun it would be climbing into the basket for take off with friends and family. After this experience, some people work up the courage to try sky diving.

Colorado is home to a number of breath taking mountain ranges that provide a beautiful backdrop for your brief journey. This might be what is feels like to be a bird. Floating through the air and following the wind as you experience all the beauty nature has to offer. The view will change with the seasons. One flight may not be enough to satisfy the adventurous spirit.

The flight will include some low flying time to take in the magnificent sight of the native animals running free across the land. You will see the Continental Divide, which has not been included as one of the great wonders of the world. However, after seeing its magnitude, you may want to add the Divide to your personal list of wonders.

The champagne toast before your flight may ease the nerves for first time fliers. Time will seem to stop in this dreamlike environment. Very few people get the chance to be an astronaut, but almost anyone can grab the opportunity to view planet earth in this fashion. Chances are that your first balloon ride will not be your last.

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.

Experienced sailors will understand the nature of wind. Ballooning uses wind to travel. Wind is the vehicle's fuel. Since wind is inherently unpredictable, there is no way to exactly predict the balloon's landing spot. Each flight is followed by a chase vehicle manned with an experienced crew. The crew will assist with the flight's landing and take the passengers back to the spot where the balloon took off. Passengers will need the ride back to their cars, and the chase vehicle is needed to transport the equipment 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.
