The Festive And Colorful Ballooning Festival

By Alta Alexander


If you are interested to ride a hot air balloon, go to Winter Park, CO. There, you can see lots of different balloons with various colors. There are festivals and events every year and lots of tourists come here to see the spectacular show of balloons sailing up the blue skies. When you take the ride and start to ascend, you will start to see the beautiful view of wide grasslands, cliffs, rocky mountain, and beautiful valleys.

Balloon operators have a club in Colorado which they established for approximately forty years now. Colorado ballooning can give you an experience of a lifetime which you might want to try over and over again. It is a very entertaining feast of balloon rides. Anyone can take the ride, of course, with the assistance of the operators. You can have a nice breakfast, a glass of champagne, and beautiful music in the background with the fresh sun peeking at you in an early morning atmosphere.

The perfect time to ride is when the sun rises. This is when the breeze is stable and calm so it is great timing. But you need to wear layered clothing because it will be cold. When the sun finally rises, it will start to get really warm and you will feel it in the basket, plus the hot air that propels the balloon is also hot.

The festival is exhilarating. There are so many balloons and they are really beautiful. You can take a ride or stay on the ground and take some nice photographs. You can take your family along, especially the kids but make sure you all wake up early morning because as mentioned earlier, these colorful things fly early morning when the winds are most stable.

This is the event where you can bring the entire family with you especially the kids, that is, if they can wake up early. It is not necessary to take the ride if you are not up to it and if the kids are scared. You can simply stay on the ground and look at those beautiful colors. There are also a lot of other booths and activities where you can take your children to. Not to mention all the souvenirs and toys you can buy.

But it will be even more exciting if you will take the ride. It will last for about an hour to three hours depending on your preference. Payment will differ depending on the length of time, of course.

Some people find it scary at first but the ascent is really slow and gradual and it will not turn the stomach inside out. Eventually, when they finally get used to it, they will even request for a longer time up there. It is really relaxing and elegant to be up there. In the past, this has been used as a transport for people from one place to another. It takes you back to those days and the feeling is like, vintage.

Winter Park is famous for this event and many people come here all year round, even if it is not the time of the festival. You can always take the ride but you need to come really early in the morning, before the sun comes up because that is recommended by the operators. They are experienced and very skilled in flying it so they will know when is the perfect time.

They can even go hundreds feet more upwards if the weather is really good and the winds are fine. Here, you will see almost all of the city in birds eye view. It is a nice treat that will make you forget all your problems for awhile.
