Great Adventure 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.

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 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.

Your licensed, experienced pilot knows that ballooning uses both are and science. A pilot's skill allows him to harness the wind and help keep the course. Your flight's start time is dependent on the sunrise if you are among the first group of balloons scheduled to take off. Weather can be unpredictable, and safety will always come first.

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.
