Taos Ballooning: Hot Air Balloon Rides http://taosballooning.com Eske's Paradise Balloons is the only balloon ride company in Taos NM with a perfect safety record! Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:03:13 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 Balloon Ride Video from Alison Langley http://taosballooning.com/2011/10/22/balloon-ride-video-from-alison-langley/ http://taosballooning.com/2011/10/22/balloon-ride-video-from-alison-langley/#comments Sat, 22 Oct 2011 18:24:36 +0000 admin http://taosballooning.com/?p=148 Best known for her high-end, East Coast boating photography, Alison Langley was a passenger of Paradise Balloons this summer and created a wonderful video of her experience.

The video documents  highlights of a typical Paradise ballooning experience: inflation, lift-off over the Rio Grande Gorge, dropping 600′ down to the river for a “Splash and Dash,” and the happy landing.  Enjoy!

Music is by the local Taos trio, Moses’ Grandma.
