Winter Park, CO is one of the best places in the world when it comes to hot air balloons. They hold balloon festivals and rides which is what most tourists are really looking for when they come to the city. Once you are in the basket of the balloon, you will see all the beautiful spots like the rocky mountains of Colorado, wide grasslands, gorgeous valleys, and cliffs. It really is a treat when you are in up in the air.

There is a club for balloon operators and they keep the flight safe. Colorado ballooning is really entertaining as well. You can eat your breakfast while high up above the clouds or toast your champagne. They also play real good music there which makes your experience even more relaxing. The balloon is complete with safety gears as well.

In time with the sunrise, it is perfect to fly on it. This is so because if the weather is perfect, the winds are most stable during that time of the day. This could mean also that it will be really cold so you need to wear your jacket or sweater. But once that peeping sun finally comes out, it will start to warm up.

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.

Usually, people choose to ride a bit longer even if they have initially paid for the one hour ride. At first, people become really scared. But eventually, they will feel that it is a great and relaxing ride up there.

The city is popular for the balloon festival, which happens at least once in a year. However, they are still available at anytime. You can take the ride anytime the whole year round as long as there are no storms or bad weather. The operators have been flying for approximately forty years now, so they are really reliable.

Once they think the winds are really stable, they can even elevate the balloon several feet up where you can enjoy a more breath taking view. When you look down, you will be given a birds eye view of almost the entire city. This is great since you can also photograph really nice panorama and landscape.
