We had a truly wonderful experience with Lou and his team, floating over the red sands of Moab and surrounding canyonlands on 28th April, 2012. Lou is an amazing pilot, and an entertaining, enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour-guide to boot! We had so much fun discussing the local rock formations and wind patterns while peacefully gliding above some of the most... More

We had to get up with the chickens, maybe sooner, but it was so much worth it. We watched a beautiful sunrise over Arches NP, then drove to the launch point to watch our chariot become a beautiful colorful balloon! Then.....We lifted off and were treated to views of the region as we could not have seen any other way.... More

Lou is absolutley amazing! I was nervous but he made sure to keep me at ease. The views were breathtaking. He made sure to turn the balloon so everyone got a view of it all. The landing was the best. Rock star parking right on the dirt road next to the van that was there to pick us up. The... More

My sister and I spent a week in Moab, enjoying the spectacular surroundings, hikes, people and culture within some of the world's most unique terrain, as we celebrated my birthday. The highlight of our trip had to be the ballooning experience with Lou and his great crew. Lou's personality raised the experience a few notches above what was already outstanding,... More

Lou and his crew gave our family group, in town for a small reunion, a morning to remember. The large basket was able to hold our whole party together. I'd wondered how the younger children in the group would take to the experience, but they loved it. Getting to walk around inside the balloon as it was being inflated was... More

I was recently on a weekend excursion in Moab with my 8-year-old daughter and a two of my friends. The highlight of the weekend was the hot air balloon experience with Canyonlands Ballooning. It was a crisp and cool morning on Saturday, April 21st when my group, and several other patrons were shuttled together to the launch site a few... More

Ballooning is the perfect way to experience the Arches and Canyonlands... After a day in the national park admiring the beauty from the ground, it was just appropriate to enjoy it from above. Can't think of a better way of experiencing it than under the able piloting of Lou. No two journeys in a balloon ride will ever be the... More
