Winter Park, CO is one of the best places in the world when it comes to hot air balloons. They hold balloon festivals and rides which is what most tourists are really looking for when they come to the city. Once you are in the basket of the balloon, you will see all the beautiful spots like the rocky mountains of Colorado, wide grasslands, gorgeous valleys, and cliffs. It really is a treat when you are in up in the air.

Balloon operators have a club in Colorado which they established for approximately forty years now. Colorado ballooning can give you an experience of a lifetime which you might want to try over and over again. It is a very entertaining feast of balloon rides. Anyone can take the ride, of course, with the assistance of the operators. You can have a nice breakfast, a glass of champagne, and beautiful music in the background with the fresh sun peeking at you in an early morning atmosphere.

The perfect time to ride is when the sun rises. This is when the breeze is stable and calm so it is great timing. But you need to wear layered clothing because it will be cold. When the sun finally rises, it will start to get really warm and you will feel it in the basket, plus the hot air that propels the balloon is also hot.

Many excited faces come to the festival. They have to be there early to see those colorful balloons as they go up gradually to the blue sky. You are going to have to wake up really early to catch this event.

This is the event where you can bring the entire family with you especially the kids, that is, if they can wake up early. It is not necessary to take the ride if you are not up to it and if the kids are scared. You can simply stay on the ground and look at those beautiful colors. There are also a lot of other booths and activities where you can take your children to. Not to mention all the souvenirs and toys you can buy.

Some people do not let the day pass if they cannot take a ride. The panoramic view is very picturesque and they like to take high quality pictures of beautiful scenes. You can be up in the skies, like literally in cloud nine, for over two hours. You can also extend if possible, but you will have to prompt the operator.

Usually, people choose to ride a bit longer even if they have initially paid for the one hour ride. At first, people become really scared. But eventually, they will feel that it is a great and relaxing ride up there.

Winter Park is famous for this event and many people come here all year round, even if it is not the time of the festival. You can always take the ride but you need to come really early in the morning, before the sun comes up because that is recommended by the operators. They are experienced and very skilled in flying it so they will know when is the perfect time.

They can even go hundreds feet more upwards if the weather is really good and the winds are fine. Here, you will see almost all of the city in birds eye view. It is a nice treat that will make you forget all your problems for awhile.
