Adventure Awaits With Colorado Hot Air Balloon Rides

By Mattie Knight


Your dream of getting away from it all can become your reality with Colorado Hot Air Balloon Rides. Flying up and away into the skies surrounding the Rocky Mountain range is an awesome experience. Trips are available any time of the year. Even the winter months will give you an awesome flight complete with snow covered slopes. You can read all about your upcoming adventure at the Winter Park, CO websites.

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.

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 Winter Park flights provide passengers with some benefits of being closer to the ground. You can be close enough to the wildlife to really experience the thrill of seeing an animal in its own environment. This sure beats going to the zoo. A close up view of animals running across the Continental Divide is a thrilling experience.

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 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.

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.

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.
