The Montgolfier brothers first sent a duck, a sheep and a rooster into the air way back in 1793; since then ballooning has becoming extremely popular and is a fabulous way to see the beauty of amazing landscapes. To enjoy the best hot air balloon Colorado has both stunning scenery and a host of companies offering this incredible excursion.

The joys of drifting in near silence over open plains or parkland is a once in a lifetime experience. The occasional roar of the burner seems to be a perfect counter point to the stillness of quietly floating across the sky. The views that can be experienced are unlike any other with the full panorama spread out beneath you.

Any form of air travel can be affected by the weather. In wintertime the winds are usually too strong and flights are impossible. When planning a trip to go ballooning bear in mind that most companies only operate from Spring to Fall and even during these times your excursion might get cancelled if the weather is too bad.

The best time for ballooning is early in the morning when the winds are lightest. Even with long term forecasting becoming more accurate, your operator will need you confirm probably the afternoon before the flight to make sure the winds are not too high. As soon as they have told you the trip is definitely on you will need to set an alarm to be up with the larks and ready for your amazing journey.

Wherever in Colorado you might like to go, you are sure to find an operator in that area who will have trips to see the major attractions. Every operator will have its own range of packages to suit groups, corporate events or even private flights with tuition on how to fly. Many of the excursions include breakfast as the start times are so early.

Your day might start with a sumptuous continental breakfast, a briefing on safety, a chance to help inflate the airbag, then into the basket to sail into the air and your amazing journey. The flight itself could last anywhere up to a couple of hours, but will seem like it has literally flown past. The sights and sounds will make memories which last a lifetime.

Once back on the ground you could be greeted by champagne or sparkling wine to celebrate. Some companies include framed photographs and t-shirts to commemorate your day. You could even get involved with the crew and help deflate the airbag post-flight, the options are endless. It is highly likely that once you have been bitten by the bug, your next stop will be the office to book another trip!

With so many offerings and deals it is advisable to spend some looking on the internet before booking. There are deals for early bookings, group rates and also the chance to buy gift vouchers. A little research could save a lot of money and get a really amazing gift for you and your loved one to share.
