Balloon flights

Hi all
Do you know if there are balloon trips over Yellowstone or Teton. If so, would you recommend?
Thanks

Note that those are south of the parks.
Some folks think US National Parks are set up like amusement parks.
No you cannot zip line across the Grand Canyon either.

Montereyjack has it right; you can take a balloon ride in the nearby vicinity of those two parks, but not over the parks themselves. I suspect any balloon ride based in Jackson will give a nice view, though, even if you're not looking down directly on the parks.
