Have any of you done the hot air balloon or biplane flights over Sedona? I just made my reservation for two balloon flights (once for still photos and the 2nd for video) and even though I've gone ballooning a few times before (once during the 98 Albquerque Fiesta!) and know what it's like, I'd love to hear what experiences others have had.........

I've done the biplane thing. It was a blast! The pilot was really knowledgable and explained what everything was that we flew by. I had just moved here, so I didn't know the names of any of the rock features in Sedona. I left feeling like an expert! Plus I got a cool video to go home with. _________________ "Your day-glo ballet days are over." Ancient chinese proverb.

I did one of the balloon rides during Albquerque Fiesta too. That was fun and the scenery was great. I'd like to do it again. Does Sedona do it year round? Would be nice to see some of the Red rocks with snow on them. Would make for some pretty pictures. _________________ Wanderingsoul (Michelle)

Oh yeah, you can bet I'll be posting A LOT of photos after this trek!
With the exception of poor weather to the point where they can't fly, I believe the balloons do fly year round in Sedona. |

I did the bi-plane ride twice now, and would go for a third! What a great time!
Let the pilot know that you want more then a tourist trip and they'll give you a great ride. _________________
