See Boulder by Balloon on These Adventure Tours

By Leave a Comment

Imagine floating high above the mountains, suspended in the crystal blue skies, drifting wherever the wind decides to take you. The breathtaking beauty of Colorado spreads below your feet. You will watch wildlife from a vantage point you have never even imagined.

For $195, you can experience an adventure you will never forget with Adventure Balloon Sports. You are also welcome to take a champagne flight for $295.

While the ride is thrilling, you do not need to be afraid. All balloon pilots are certified FAA flight instructors, and they research weather conditions thoroughly before lifting off.

The basket can hold up to a dozen people. The body of the balloon is normally nylon. A fire-resistant fabric lines the neck for safety.

The pilot pumps cold air into the balloon. Then he heats the air with a propane torch, and when the air inside the balloon is hotter than outside, the balloon will rise.

Few things to do in Northeast Boulder are more exciting than a flight in a hot air balloon. However, you can see more of Colorado’s gorgeous mountain views from the windows of our Boulder apartments. Contact us if you would like to take a tour.

By Leave a Comment

One of the most invigorating things you can do during the summer months is to get out and enjoy the scenery. At The Habitat, our Boulder apartments near the Diagonal are a wonderful starting point for your adventure.

While there are a number of excellent trails for you to choose from, be sure to take a look at the Boulder Valley Ranch Trail System. It’s one of the area’s most popular because it offers spectacular views and links into a number of other trails. This means you can hike, bike, or ride a horse just as long and as far as you’d like.

Further, since the trails are wide and smooth, this makes them a great place for beginners to start their adventures in hiking. Without a doubt, the whole family will enjoy the views of Boulder Reservoir, the smooth and calm waters of Coot Lake, and the magnificent vistas over the farms and towns below. Since the trail is just outside of town, it only takes a few minutes to get there from here.
