Book this flight
Aerial view of towering red sandstone buttes and spires at sunrise with long shadows and balloons in the distance.

On most calm mornings the wind carries us north over the great buttes. The pilot climbs to three thousand feet so you see them all at once, then drifts down between them as the shadows shorten.
