Hot Air Ballooning in Colorado Springs

One of the most beautiful places in the United States to visit is Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in the central portion of the state, Colorado Springs is somewhat of a hidden gem.  Don’t let the population of this city fool you (just over 400,000 as of 2011), it truly is a phenomenal place to visit. 

Amongst the top area attractions are the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and the United States Air Force Academy. There are also plenty of great places to eat, shop, ski, and party. While all of those activities are fun, nothing beats an evening above the city in a hot air balloon.

Take your lover or join your friends in a hot air ballooning adventure in historic Colorado Springs at one of the outfitters below.
