Southern Utah Hot Air Ballooning ITINARY: After your adventure details have been verified you will get in touch with your assigned Pilot. You are requested to stay in touch with him and arrange your meeting point and time, this will usually be around sunrise. If weather does not permit a safe flight we will try to reschedule the adventure. Leaving a day or 2 as back up dates greatly enhances the chances of a successful launch.
After meeting we will proceed to our selected launch site. You can then either watch or actively take part in the balloon setup process. After the Pilot's last system check he will brief you and ask you to get in the basket - some burns later we gently lift up into the air, diving into the sky.
Each flight is different; no one-balloon adventure is like the other. We steer by using different layers of winds at different altitudes. We sometimes go as low as a couple of inches above the ground, while other times we are up to a mile high. We are exploring, discovering and playing with natures wonders. Wind conditions determine whether we go up very low or very high, sometimes both. Flying time varies from about 45 to 95 minutes. Sometimes we land in the same spot as we launched from, while other times we cover 20+ miles distance. Towards the end of the flight your Pilot navigates to a secure and accessible landing site. At the end of the flight you may get out of the balloon after your Pilot has instructed you to do so. As before you are welcome to lend a hand in the packing process. You are also very welcome to sit back and work on your impressions.
A celebration follows the packing: Sparkling cider or champagne out in the desert is a very suitable and stylish finish to an unforgettable experience! Beyond this there is a traditional balloonist baptism for first-timers followed by a morning or lunch buffet, catered to you in the beauty of the surrounding scenery. A commemorative flight certificate and our adventure pin are our means to keep your adventure alive long after getting back to earth. You are now a member of the Utah Outventures Ballooning Society.
Contact Us or Reserve your personal Balloon Adventure today. Our friendly staff is awaiting your call to delight you with the secure feeling of floating serenely above the picturesque landscapes. (801) 824 3934
