Great Balloon Rides Colorado Visitors Can Get Excited About

By Carl Patterson


Who doesn't love the idea of gliding through the sky? It just seems like one of the most unusual and interesting things you can do. Flying through the air, not nearly as high as a plane, and much less stressful than jumping out of one, this form of entertainment can be a perfect way to celebrate special occasions or cap off a wonderful vacation. If you are considering balloon rides Colorado visitors have recommended, here are tips that can help.

Whether you are vacationing the in area and want to see it from the air or celebrating a special event like a birthday or anniversary, these rides offer a unique experience. Many companies will help you plan the excursion. They have packages available with all kinds of special amenities. Sunset and sunrise rides, for instance, can be arranged with full course breakfasts and dinners including champagne.

When you contact the balloon company, they will be able to tell you what excursions they have available and how long you will be in the air. It usually varies from less than an hour to two or three depending on the event you have planned and how far you are going. The average balloon ride travels about ten miles.

You will want to know how much your trip is going to cost, and that will depend entirely on what you want. A short ride without extras usually runs around one hundred dollars. Depending on the package you choose, the amenities that come with it, and the number of people going with you, the cost will probably end up being two hundred or more dollars per person.

A ride over the Rockies would be a special treat. The weather of course could be a factor depending on the time of year you are visiting. The scenery is spectacular and ballooning over it is the perfect way to appreciate its beauty. Your pilot can point out areas of special interest and explain how this incredible mountain range was created.

These types of rides are very dependent on weather conditions. Even in the best of circumstances situations arise that require quick decisions. The pilot and staff have the option not to begin a flight or to land one prematurely if the weather changes. The safety of everyone on board is the predominant concern. Anyone who has a ride planned, that has had to be postponed due to weather conditions, may reschedule or have fees refunded. The contract you sign with the company will outline the exact options available.

To most people going up in a balloon doesn't seem nearly as scary as taking a commercial plane trip. You certainly won't be up as high, and if something happens, balloons do not plunge to the ground the way another aircraft might. Fire is the most concerning aspect of ballooning, but it is a rare occurrence and something the crew is prepared for.

Taking a ride in a balloon as it moves effortlessly across the landscape is a dream trip for many adventurous individuals. It is a unique way to get a new perspective on the world we all live in.
