Balloon and Bike Tour

Highlights / General details

Hot Air Balloon: The unforgettable feeling of warmth and glowing air as it rushes skyward into the early morning darkness. At the launch site, your balloon comes to life and stands upright just seconds before whisking you into the heavens, rising up and up over the Sierra, and deep blue waters of Lake Tahoe. Faintly, the chatter of mountain quail, meadow larks, and blue jays fade as you drift over the dramatic contrasting scenery. Each breath brings the aroma of pine trees, alfalfa, and wood smoke softly lingering in the morning air. The mountains appear in all their splendor basking in the early morning sun as all to soon you drift slowly back to Earth.
