Wonderful crew at Hot Air Expeditions only to be outdone by the amazing calm & serenity of floating over the mountains. Alex , Jim and pilot Bill made for an entertaining, educational experience! Also the mimosas & breakfast was crazy good. Highly recommend hot air expeditions for your ballooning memories.

Such an amazing experience!! I went with my Mom and there were about a dozen people total that was in our balloon basket. Our pilot Grant was nothing short of fabulous! He was explicitly clear on do’s and don’t’s for our safety. He was funny , professional and very entertaining. The setup and champagne breakfast afterwards was such a nice treat and Grant and his crew were wonderful during the entire time!
