I’ll be honest, I was pretty excited for this ballon ride. I had always wanted to go on one, so my expectations were pretty high. This somehow surpassed them. It was so cool to watch them launch streaming flames into the balloon to inflate it and tip the basket upright. Lifting off was incredible. Soaring at over 6,000 ft above the ground, there was so much to see. We were in the air for roughly 50 mins, but it felt like 20. As we approached our landing area, we cruised 10 or 20 feet above the desert landscape for about 500 yards, which felt like a magic carpet ride. When we landed we watched as they deflated the balloon, and pulled out tables for a candlelit champagne / hors d’oeuvres nightcap as the sun set fiery orange and red. A great toast by our pilot Don put a bow on what was a truly unique and unforgettable bucket list excursion. If you are considering a balloon trip in the slightest, these guys do it right. Ask for Don, he was a delight.
