Best Recreational Experience:
Hot Air Ballooning
The view’s the thing: floating over North County golf courses, getting a bird’s eye view of rambling estates, watching the sunset from high in the sky — that’s why our readers love hot air ballooning. "I was so busy peaking into people’s backyards, I forgot to be scared," is a typical comment from deplaning passengers. As a bonus, operators in our area go out of their way to please. Planning to pop the question at 2,000 feet? They’ll bring the Champagne. Always wanted to join the mile-high club? One company claims to offer "comfort and discretion" and provides private rides that pause at 5,280 feet. (800/350-9122, www.balloonrides.aero) — Elizabeth Hansen
