Why Fly With Us

Every flight lifts off from Pagosa Springs and climbs above the San Juan Mountains, the wildest and least-crowded range in Colorado’s ballooning scene. At up to 3,000 feet, you’ll take in a 200-mile view spanning four states, with elk, deer, ospreys, and bald eagles often visible below. Rocky Mountain Balloon Adventures has been flying here since 1986, with more than 10,000 safe flights and a champagne toast waiting for you on the ground. Whether you’re planning a family morning out, a sunset flight in the winter stillness, or a private proposal above the mountains, this is one of the most distinctive hot air balloon rides in Colorado — and, adult for adult, one of the most affordable.

Cancellation Policy

  • There is a $25 cancellation fee per person if you cancel your flight more than 24 hours in advance. The remainder will be refunded to you.
  • Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds on cancellations made within 24 hours of flight.
  • Weather cancellations are reimbursed in full.

For your safety, all hot air balloon flights are heavily dependent upon weather. A flight may be cancelled due to wind, cloud cover, rain or extended periods of snow.

Winds are calmest in the morning, which is why our flights are early.

We get weather reports from a federally authorized government agency. If a flight is cancelled due to weather, you’ll receive a phone call from us as soon as we know (that morning or the night before), and you’ll have the chance to reschedule or receive a full refund.
