My friend Jill and I have a very long list of things I need to experience this summer in WNY! The eternal flame, the Buffalo Zoo, Old Fort Niagara, Iron Island, Clifton Hill...and now I'm adding this to my list!

I had no idea this was available, but I'm so in!

CNN recently listed places you should take a hot air balloon ride to see, and one of them is right here in WNY!

From CNN:

Letchworth State Park, New York

Follow the Genesee River as it rolls through the Letchworth Gorge, flanked by towering slate cliffs, some 600 feet high. Balloons Over Letchworth is the only company operating within the park from May to mid October. The hour-long flight swoops over lush woods and the middle and upper falls. Visibility is great in July and August when the weather is warm and dry, while September sees the foliage at its Technicolor finest.

$249 per person; balloonsoverletchworth.com

Pretty neat, and officially now on my list!
