Balloon Flight Description
At
highest flight levels you will experience the panorama
of the desert and mountain terrain stretching out for
100 miles in all directions. Changing altitude brings
different wind currents used to "steer" the
balloon. We float close to the ground to skim over the
unique plant life such as the giant Saguaro cactus and
Palo Verde Trees. We often see coyotes, jack rabbits,
desert mule deer, and even javelinas... animals that are
normally too shy to let you approach when you are walking
on the ground.

Clothing
The temperature in the balloon basket is no colder than
the temperature on the ground if not warmer. The balloon
moves with the wind so there is not any wind chill factor.
We recomend an athletic shoe, NO SANDALS, HEELS or FLIP
FLOPS. Our flights are out in the desert full of rocks,
dirt, cactus, sticks and other things that can hurt your
feet. Sometimes guests get all drerssed up for this elegant
excursion. The balloons are dusty and you will get a little
dirty. We recomend you dress in layers as if you were
going on a day hike. Sunglasses, a sweatshirt and a baseball
hat is sufficient. Some guests say the radiant heat from
the burners is warm on their heads.
Time
Plan to meet us at the appointed time. Please do not be
late and there is no need to be early. Your balloon ride
will be 45 minutes to 1 hour and fifteen minutes in the
air. We always try to fly for 1 hour. Depending on the
day we land when it is most prudent for safety reasons.
Total activity time is 3 to four hours. This includes
transportation time to and from the field, time to assemble
and inflate the balloon, flight time, pack up of the balloon,
party in the field and transport back to your cars. Most
flights are done in 3 hours but can take as long as 4
hours.
