HOT AIR BALLOONING in UTAH - Our HIGH ALTITUDE, Luxury Balloon Flights are scheduled YEAR ROUND at sunrise (good weather required)
About Hot Air Ballooning in Utah: Ballooning is by far the best way to see Utah's beauty in the shortest amount of time possible. It is the safest form of aviation. Flying in a hot air balloon is an unparallel experience, and 200 years after the first flight, it is still hot air that keeps us aloft, fading the limits of time and space.

Ballooning Itinerary: Your adventure starts right here. Call us or visit our secure reservation page to get your excitement going. After making a reservation we will arrange for a meeting point and a meeting time, usually right after sunrise. After a hearty greet you will either board our vehicles, or follow us in yours. A short drive takes us to our launch site, where a black helium filled balloon (Pi-Ball) ascending into the sky tells us where we will be heading. Our crew starts to unload the balloon form the trailer. You are welcome to get engaged in the process, or just watch our professional crew get the balloon ready, typically this takes about 15 - 20 min. As the balloon is being filled with cold air by the means of a fan, the pilot takes all required steps to ensure a safe flight. Our excitement increases as the burners are turned on. "Wooooosh" - Blasts of hot air make the envelope rise. After a short safety briefing it is time to climb in the basket. The lift off is so gentle, that you might not even realize we are up in the air. The gondola remains stable through out the flight. We always strive to gain high altitudes ( up to 7000 feet ) to get the anticipated aerial impressions, and contour the landscapes only inches off the ground. We navigate by using winds out of different directions at different altitudes. We are airborne for about one hour. After navigating to safe landing site, it is time to watch the pilot and crew work together. Once the ground is touched the pilot will ask you to step out of the basket, and again you are welcome to get engaged in the whole process by helping us or just stand back and enjoy the majestic balloon come down and being packed. A typical european style after flight celebration follows the flight. Champagne or cider in crystal flutes , white table cloth, the breathtaking scenery, and the memories lasting a life's time make for an experience you would not want to miss.
