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.

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.

Before each flight there will be a champagne toast. The feeling is celebratory to prepare passengers for the upcoming sense of wonder. Imagine what it would feel like to be high enough to look down at the earth and take in the landscape. Much better than the view of earth from an airplane window, hot air balloon passengers are one with the environment and have an unobstructed view.

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.

If this will be your first ride in a hot air balloon, just do it. Do not let another day go by without planning your adventure. There does not need to be a special occasion that is cause for celebration. Just celebrating life and nature's beauty is reason enough to make ballooning a priority. Share the experience with loved ones to make it even more memorable. If your were not a nature lover before, you will become one following this awesome adventure.
