Balloon glowing at dawn
Our Story

A family, a balloon,
and a love of the quiet sky.

How It Began

Run by the Enfields, flown for you.

PathFinder Balloons is a family affair. Doug flies, Jamie keeps the champagne pouring and the cameras rolling, and a dedicated crew makes sure every morning runs smoothly from the parking lot to the landing field.

What ties it together is simple: a genuine love of the sky, and the belief that a balloon flight should feel calm, personal, and unforgettable, not rushed or crowded. That's the flight we set out to give every single guest.

Doug Enfield

Commercial Balloon Pilot & Instructor

Doug earned his private pilot single-engine license at just 18 and started flying hot air balloons in 2015. He navigates the skies like a boss and loves to chat it up with guests, pointing out landmarks, sharing insights, and keeping everything calm and controlled from lift-off to landing.
