What an experience

Not only did Rick go over ever precaution that is possible, he made us feel completely comfortable. In the preflight drills on taking off & landing, we new what to expect. I also want commend the setup crew and the landing crew.

One heck of a sunrise!

The views over the Pisgah National Forest are simply stunning. If you're celebrating something (or even if you're not!), this is a memory you won't soon forget.

Great view of the mountains of Asheville

This is one of the best customer service experience from the staff who took our reservations to the pilots of the balloons. It was a great ride with an awesome view. I can not wait to go again.
