Enjoy
floating
above the
earth with
a bird’s-eye
view?
Overcome a fear of
heights as you skim
treetops and glide over the
wheat fields of the prairies in a
hot air balloon. The best time of
day to go for both the weather and
the view is sunrise, after which, most
places will reward your bravery with a
traditional champagne celebration
and picnic.
