Glider & Balloon Rides
Telluride, Colorado offers some of the best sightseeing adventures anywhere. To get a unique view of the San Juan Mountains, take a hot air balloon ride or soar quietly over the peaks in a glider. You will truly appreciate the specter of the area as you travel hundreds of feet over the green forests and barren mesas.
For those who ski, "getting air," means one thing, and for those who ride in hot air balloons or gliders, "getting air" means something very different. On a clear, quiet morning, the Telluride basin becomes one of the best places in the United State to be aboard a hot air balloon. As you rise over the picturesque Ridgeway Valley, you will view snow capped mountains, green forests, as the wide valley spreads out below.
Another great way to enjoy the area is to take a glider ride high above the landscape. You can enjoy thrills year round by soaring over the ski slopes in both winter and summer.
Without the noise of airplane engines and with clear blue skies overhead, this is the best way to enjoy the natural solitude of the mountains. Ballooning and glider rides are absolute adventure!
