We took the whole family on a first time ride. Naturally we all were anxious but the crew explained everything and how it all will transpire which put us at ease. The ride was great. Seeing the sunrise peak behind the mountains as you rise up into the air was breathtaking. The serenity of it all was awe inspiring. We ended up at an elevation of 5500 ft!
