Join us at Pueblo Balloon Company for a Hot Air Balloon Ride, an experience unrivaled by any other from of aviation.
It all starts just before dawn when our driver picks you up at your hotel and drives you to the launch site, overlooking the beautiful Rio Grande Gorge.
Our hostess will have hot coffee and pastries set up for you to enjoy while the ground crew prepares the balloon for launch.
You will want to photograph the balloon being inflated, up close and personal. A very fascinating 15 minute process!
Once on board, your pilot will give you a pre-flight briefing for the voyage of your lifetime!
Your pilot will guide the balloon over the Gorge and gently descend as much as 600 feet below the rim.
As you float through the Gorge, you will want to have your camera ready to snap shots of the shadow of the balloon, Golden Eagles or perhaps a hawk perched on the cliff walls.
After flying inside the Gorge for awhile, your pilot will ascend to an altitude that will allow you to see the entire Taos Valley.
Once out of the Gorge, your pilot, who is an FAA Certified Instructor, may give you hands on experience by letting you fly the balloon.
