Experience Real Beauty 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.

With its magnificent mountain ranges, the natural beauty of Colorado is unparalleled. The purity of winter, the colorful bloom of flowers and foliage in spring and the spectacular colors of fall, each has its own unique beauty. Seeing the beautiful landscapes from high above, it would be impossible to chose one season as the best.

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.

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.

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.
