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.

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.

Colorado is home to a number of breath taking mountain ranges that provide a beautiful backdrop for your brief journey. This might be what is feels like to be a bird. Floating through the air and following the wind as you experience all the beauty nature has to offer. The view will change with the seasons. One flight may not be enough to satisfy the adventurous spirit.

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.

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.

Your licensed, experienced pilot knows that ballooning uses both are and science. A pilot's skill allows him to harness the wind and help keep the course. Your flight's start time is dependent on the sunrise if you are among the first group of balloons scheduled to take off. Weather can be unpredictable, and safety will always come first.

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.

There is no need to wait any longer to have this wonderful adventure. Reservations are available on the Winter Park websites. Imagine a magic carpet ride where you float through the sky taking in all the beauty that cannot be seen from a ground view. There is no reason to wait for a special occasion. Make the balloon ride the special occasion.
