AdventureEasySummerYear-round
Soar above the Wasatch Mountains at sunrise for a bird's-eye view of the golden autumnal leaves and the Jordanelle Reservoir.
Itinerary tips
- 1Dress in layers including a light jacket, as temperatures at high altitudes are significantly cooler even during summer months.
- 2Allocate at least three to four hours for the entire experience, including safety briefings, inflation, the flight, and the traditional post-landing toast.
- 3Confirm your specific meeting location with the pilot 24 hours in advance, as launch sites vary based on daily wind patterns in the valley.
- 4Arrive at least 15 minutes early to secure parking at the designated staging area and watch the impressive inflation process.
- 5Bring a camera with a neck strap to capture the panoramic views of Mount Timpanogos without the risk of dropping equipment over the basket.
- 6Book your flight for the beginning of your Utah trip to allow for rescheduling in case of high winds or inclement weather.
