Palm Springs, CA Area from a Hot Air Balloon

Sunday, December 27, 2009 at 10:53PM

Fantasy Balloon Flights offers hot air balloon rides across the Coachella Valley, with sweeping views of lush golf courses, resorts, neighborhoods and desert landscapes, all surrounded by mountains. Above: balloons preparing for flight.

Ready for take-off.

Our fellow fliers.

An unsuspecting swimmer.

Mount San Gorgonio in the distance.

Scoping out the golf courses and planning the next outing.

Above: the flame that heats the air inside the balloon.

The sun disappears behind the mountains.

Our co-balloonists gently land.

We survived, and we celebrate!
