We had a great experience with Adventures Out West's Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride. This was our first time ballooning, so we were a little nervous but AOW made the experience so much fun. Our pilot, Terry, was amazing. He took time to teach us about ballooning: what he looks for in the weather, the process of inflating the balloon, how to prepare for landing, etc. Terry has over 2,000 hours of hot air ballooning under his belt and his experience showed. The day we were scheduled, Terry was concerned about the amount of wind. He explained to us what he was looking for and that safety was the first priority. After careful consideration, he decided to cancel the flight for the day. We were grateful that he was looking out for us! He offered to try and take us the next day. The next day, the weather was right and we had an incredible flight to almost 4,000 feet above ground (every flight is a little different, so please don't get angry if your flight doesn't reach this height :) ). It was unforgettable! After the flight, the crew set up a wonderful breakfast spread of cheese, fruit, pastries, and nuts. Terry also gave us a history of ballooning. Wonderful experience!
