I was nervous at first, but they have years of training. We dipped deep into crevices to look at rock formations and flowers. Our flyer landed us perfectly on a flatbed of a truck. The entire experience was amazing.

@DianneN That is incredible. In West Australia they often have a utility (truck) chasing them all over the countryside waiting for them to land somewhere.

@JudyEv Do they land on the trucks? I always assumed they landed on the ground. This was my first time.

Beautiful photo! I love all the hot air balloons in the background too.

I fear heights so I don't know if I ever could go on air ballon ride, but I bet it was beautiful and romantic during that scenery (sunset!)

It was sunrise, but it was beautiful, especially once I overcame my nervousness.

I'm afraid of heights, too, but was more afraid of being in the balloon, so it never entered my mind! Lol!
