Grand Adventure Balloon Tours, Winter Park

Nestled in a peaceful pocket of the rugged Rockies,we found Granby. Its a very laid back yet active area for skiers and sun worshipers alike. While totally unpretentious the town does have a pint sized library including internet on Zero St. At the end of the street an animal sanctuary for wild horses,dogs,strays,etc. is an interesting place to visit. Snow-capped Bryers Mt. in the distance is the focal point of the town which has many ecclectic stores,best chicken wings and comfy inns.Windy Gap is a nature preserve and ancient artifacts have been unearthed. Silver Creek is a trendy development and shuttle buses are available,in the lobby huge stuffed and mounted wildlife,ie grizzley,elk,caribou procide a nice welcoming touch to the clime.A well stocked ski shop, and an outdoor cafe serving hot chocolate as skiers zoom by are here also. Great Grandby is a true delight in an unsuspected place.

The Winter Park Fraser Valley is a beautiful place to fly in a balloon. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in the world. Views of the Continental Divide, Rocky Mountain National Park, and 13,000 ft mtns for 100 miles. Picking pine cones while watching wildlife below is amazing! Flights are weather permitting so try your 1st day. I have been with Grand Adventures more than once. What a way to start the day!!!!

While visiting the area we took a balloon tour and I am so glad we did! It was something all of us will never forget.

This was a fabulous trip! It is the most beautiful place to fly in a balloon! I recommend it highly for everyone.
