In the first few hours of dawn's light, the earth is illuminated in soft hues and swept by crisp, mild breezes. Hot Air Balloons Philadelphia provides just the perspective needed to take in these sights with sunrise jaunts that end with champagne toasts. A sunset offers its own breathtaking panorama of glowing peaks, valleys, and patchwork farmland, so the company also launches just before twilight. Before boarding the wicker basket for a gentle ascension, passengers can also experience hands-on hot air balloon work by the helping pilot and ground crew prep the multicolored balloon for flight.
