My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
As a child, we would all lie in the grass and look up at the expanse of the sky. We would point out clouds that would take on the shape of various animals and wonder what it would be like to float high in the sky. It might have seemed like a dream as a kid but now we can take flight on a hot air balloon ride in Tennessee. It may feel like a dream but it can be your reality.
Located just east of Knoxville and north of Sevierville in the little town of New Market is a locally owned hot air balloon ride company called What’s Up Ballooning.
The husband and wife duo pride themselves on operating business directly with their customers. With years of experience in aviation and safety, it is easy to see that you are in very capable hands.
Balloon rides take place at dawn so you will need to get up early to soar through the air. The stillness of the morning and the dawn of a new day is a great way to start an adventure.
You will be serenaded by the birds as they wake up and sing their songs. This is fitting because you will soon rise to their heights.

As the fire erupts and carries you upward you will be greeted with stunning views. Glistening lakes, expansive forests, and large farmlands will be visible from your perched throne in the sky. You will be able to see the massive Smoky Mountains looming as a backdrop on this gorgeous trip.
You may feel like a cloud just being whisked away in your hot air balloon. As the world is waking up you will be fully enjoying your peaceful morning high above.
They operate year-round weather permitted. Because safety is always their number one concern they make sure not to fly when conditions are not right. The owners do a great job making sure you feel safe and comfortable the whole time.
You can book your trip online and you only pay once the ride is over. Pictures of your trip are always free and the memories will last a lifetime.
If you ever had that childhood dream of floating like a cloud through the sky then wait no longer and book a trip with What’s Up Ballooning. Their professional team will soon rise you high off the ground and take you on a trip with breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains and the surrounding areas.
