Mesquite Ballon rides

Ballon rides are promoted in Mesquite, and you could savor this unique sport throughout the year. Regardless of the fact that numbers of people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have taken off in one remember this wonderous experience for years!

Ballon rides can be enjoyed by all ages. Most charters last almost an hour, but check with your pilot to find out what they offer. They might have several packages to choose from.

A long time ago someone wrote a balloonists prayer, and we've used it in the post flight ceremonies ever since:

The winds have welcomed you with softness
The sun has held you in his warm hands
You have flown so high and so well
That God has joined you in your laughter
And set you gently back down
Into the loving arms of Mother Earth.

How do you steer a balloon?

Balloons simply float with the wind. The pilot can control the balloon's altitude to find a wind going in the desired direction, but you cannot fly upwind or crosswind.

Preflight planning insures the pilot knows which way the balloon will be traveling, and the pilot makes sure there are plenty of suitable landing sites downwind. You'll be amazed how the pilot is able to steer the balloon during your balloon ride!

As you look for Ballon rides in Mesquite, keep in mind that your ride can be rescheduled if conditions are unflyable. Don't expect to fly if it is unstable or too cold. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll snap many more pictures than you require.
