Scenic Flights
Although there are unlimited options in Aspen, Colorado when it comes to sightseeing and immersing yourself in the acres and acres of wilderness, but what about seeing the entire area from a bird’s eye view? Enter paragliding, scenic flights, glider rides, and hot air balloon rides.
Paragliding has become a popular sport in recent years and offers everything for the beginner to veteran. When you’re in Aspen and looking to partake in an off-the-beaten-path adventure, a tandem flight, where you and an instructor will ride together, is an option that is sure to get the blood pumping. Just imagine soaring through the air under the guidance of a professional instructor, feet dangling in the air as you slowly descend towards the valley floor.
Hot air balloon rides, although slow moving and peaceful, are quite exhilarating. It's amazing just how small you feel looking down onto the valley floor or out across a mountain range from a basket suspended by a hot air balloon. Hot air balloon rides are truly sensational for the whole family.
Soar through the sky on a scenic airplane or glider plane flight. You'll see vistas and mountains that you never would have seen from a trail or car. Scenic flights are the perfect way to really get to know an area.
