Grand Adventure Hot Air Balloon Rides

A hot air balloon ride is a great way to celebrate a special occasion or make any occasion special. We hope to have the opportunity to share our personal world class adventure with you. We are confident that your Colorado balloon flight memories will last a lifetime. We imagine that nothing comes as close to a magic carpet ride as a balloon flight. Grand Adventure provides a breathtaking flight over the beautiful Colorado Rockies. Every morning at sunrise the skies are brightened by a hot air balloon taking off from the Winter Park/Fraser Valley Area. Passengers’ excitement begins to build as they gather to watch the balloon being inflated. Then they climb into the basket as the pilot heats the air inside the balloon until it becomes “lighter than air”. This heating allows the balloon to gracefully ascend, affording magnificent views of the mountains. In addition to the awesome beauty of the valley illuminated by the clear morning light, the sensation which impresses most first-time aeronauts is the absence of any perception of motion. There is a sense of suspended animation, of being one with the wonders of nature.
