In the United States there are few areas that can compare with the North Western territory. There are canyons and national monuments to visit as well as enjoying some of the best skiing and hunting available in the West. If you are traveling in this area you will find that taking time to visit some of the tourist places is well worth the time spent driving there. One of the more exciting activities offered can be found by reserving a balloon ride Colorado.
Ballooning is a seasonal activity that can be accessed between the months of May and October. Rides are available seven days a week during these months and generally take place in the early mornings. They are restricted to mornings because of high winds that develop in the afternoons. Early starts offer a two or three hour window when the winds are below five miles an hour and the sky and weather is clear.
This is something that virtually anybody can participate in. There are few restrictions applied to customers prior to booking a flight. You must be capable of climbing into the basket beneath the balloons, you must be over five years and under eighty years old, you may not be pregnant and should not suffer from chronic breathing issues or be dependent upon oxygen tanks.
This business is regulated by the FAA just the same as commercial flights. The pilots are highly skilled and licensed and some spend many hours training the younger personnel. Inspections are frequent and complete. All burners, baskets and balloons are thoroughly inspected for wear as well as performance issues.
Some companies offer their clients the opportunity to observe the balloons being inflated by arriving earlier than scheduled. The duration of rides vary from one hour to forty or fifty minutes. Because the only steering mechanism is the wind the landing site cannot be exactly fore told so the range may vary between five to ten miles total distance from lift off.
Most companies offer either a champagne toast, with the client receiving the fluted glass as a souvenir or a champagne breakfast at the end of their ride. One company provides a commemorative bottle of champagne for each client to take home. The breakfast may include guests who have not been up in the air for an extra fee.
With flight time so short most balloons only make the trip twice a day. Some companies have massive balloons that carry baskets designed for up to twelve passengers at a time. These larger baskets usually come with dividers installed to provide separation of different parties. There are also baskets that are built to carry four people or less. There are balloonists who will perform marriages while airborne for their clients.
For an experience you will remember for years taking flight in hot air balloons may be just what you are looking for. When you are aloft you cannot feel the wind because you are part of it and because you are part of the wind you may not be able to tell if you are moving. You will enjoy the tranquil silence of being over five hundred feet above the ground while viewing the wonders of open range while recording everything you see with your camera.
