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.

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 a state known for its natural beauty and magnificent mountain ranges. It is hard to say which would be more beautiful, your birds eye view of snow capped peaks or the sight of wild flowers blooming all around. Imagine what it would feel like to see the colorful landscape as you effortlessly float high above the ground.

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.

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.

Why wait any longer to live this dream? Go to the Winter Park website and make your reservations for a great adventure that has been compared to a magic carpet ride. Spectators can arrive early to view the rainbow of colors as they expand upon inflation. Set against the Rocky Mountains, this flight preparation is a sight to behold. You may want to celebrate an anniversary or a birthday, or maybe the adventure will just be on a whim as you seize the day. In either case this will be a day to remember for years to come.
