Take a Hot Air Balloon Ride over Heber
ScenicEasySummerYear-round
Ascend at sunrise to see the patchwork valley floor and the towering peaks of the Uinta Mountains from a silent, drifting perspective.
Itinerary tips
- 1Dress in layers regardless of the season, as temperatures at sunrise and higher altitudes are significantly cooler than in the afternoon.
- 2Allocate at least three to four hours for the entire experience, including safety briefings, inflation, the one-hour flight, and the traditional post-landing toast.
- 3Book your flight at the start of your trip to allow for rescheduling in case of high winds or inclement weather.
- 4Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants to protect yourself during landings in potentially brushy or uneven fields.
- 5Bring a camera with a neck strap to safely capture 360-degree views of Mount Timpanogos without the risk of dropping your device over the basket.
- 6Confirm the exact launch location with your pilot the night before, as take-off spots in Midway may shift based on morning wind patterns.
