I loved it! It was a relaxing and wonderful feeling being in the Hot Air Balloon. Our pilot made me feel at ease and he pointed our all of the amazing sites that we were seeing on the desert. We got close enough to see many interesting things. Landing is a little rough and I think that will always be the case, given the nature of a Hot Air Ballooon. One should be in at least moderate physical condition to be ok with that part. I am very middle aged, and it was fine for me. The rest of the ride was very smooth.
