My wife and I were in Scottsdale for our honeymoon, and saw the hot air balloons from our villa balcony. Decided to give it a shot and it was like nothing we've ever done before. We will DEFINITELY be going again! Take-off was very gentle, and our landing was barely a bump. The views were incredible, and it's so peaceful once you get up high - there's nothing but quiet and wonderful views.
Thank you to our pilot Patrick, who was a ton of fun and gave us a really cool "60 seconds of silence" at 5,000 feet!
