Balloon flights in the area of Wyoming    

Wyoming Hot air balloon flights

Hot air balloon rides are plentiful in Wyoming, and your family can delight in this wonderous way to rise above the earth while the conditions are favorable. Regardless of the fact that many individuals have never even been close to a hot air balloon, those who have taken off in one remember this outstanding experience for years to come!

A two- or three- person crew helps the pilot rig the equipment, holds open the envelope while it fills with cold air, and applies weight to the outside of the basket as needed before launch. Then they follow the balloon on the ground, and after the landing help the pilot pack everything up and bring it home again. Much of the crew workload consists of carrying heavy equipment from the truck to and from launch and landing spots.

Hot air balloon rides can be accomplished by all ages. Most adventures last approximately an hour, even so check with your pilot to find out what they offer. Several have several flights to pick out from.

Why can't I get a balloon ride in the middle of the day?

Balloons fly early in the morning, right after sunrise and late in the day, right before sunset. This is when the wind is calmest since the sun is low in the sky. The wind is generally too unpredictable, with severe up-and down-drafts, during the middle of the day. It isn't safe to offer balloon rides when the wind is unstable.
