Hot air ballooning has been on my list of "must dos" for a long time and never did I think of it as a winter activity. However, now having done it I can say that this has been by far the neatest experience I've had yet in Colorado. Our January morning was beautiful: bluest sky ever and sun was beaming!... More

While I was staying in Breckenridge I did some research and found that Grand Adventure Balloon Tours was the closest balloon ride. I highly recommend seeing the Colorado Rockies from one of these amazing tours!

I scheduled a Baloon ride for myself and my girlfriend. The plan was to purpose to her. I must have called these guys 100 times trying to figure out the best proposal strategy. They were extremely helpful, thoughtful, and willing to help out. The day finally came and we set up the mountain headed to the launch site. Upon arrival... More

This ride was a Father's Day gift from my kids. I went with my wife and twin daughters. The views were spectacular! Pilot Jack did a great job of pointing out landmarks and giving history, geography and weather lessons. The trip was very educational. Don't overdress.

Jack and Sue are the best hosts in this adventure and they made the experience that much better! Jack is very knowledgeable about the history in... More

Yes it is pricey, but when you hear how expensive it is to run...it is understandably well worth it. Sue & Jack were great. Ballooning is so quiet & relaxing...we had no idea. Jack gives you a great touring explanation of the land & what you are seeing. Sue gets pics for you of you in the balloon. Afterwards to... More
