Looking for one of the best ways to experience the fall scenery in Park City? Maybe it’s time to give Hot Air balloons a try! While many are familiar with what they are, surprisingly few have ever flown in one. This is an absolutely breathtaking and peaceful way to see the landscape with your group or family. For those who are intimidated by heights, fear not! Balloon flyers often report that their experience was a completely relaxing journey and that the views were absolutely worth it.

While most hot air balloon operations run year round, we actually think that the fall is one of the best times to fly. There simply isn’t a better way to take in the colorful landscape than from 6000 feet up! The best ballooning weather is right at sunrise so we recommend dressing warm for ballooning in the fall season. Don’t worry though, once you’re bundled up you’ll forget all about a chilly morning as the sun breaks over the mountain tops. 

For those interested in trying hot air ballooning we recommend the following three outfitters, all of which are located in the town of Park City!
