Canyonlands & Arches National Park Tour

Visitors with only a few hours to spare don’t need to miss out on an unforgettable trip above our two favorite national parks. It may take years to hike to all of the stunning vantage points, horizons, rock features, and canyons, but a flight tour will give you an intimate overview of the eons of geologic history that shaped these parks.

Canyonlands and Arches National Park may be neighbors, but these parks’ geology, terrain, and scenery are distinct. This tour disproves any “you’ve seen one, you’ve seen the other” mindset by comparing each national park’s extraordinary and unique views. 

Arches National Park is Mother Nature’s sculpting studio, full of vibrant red hoodoos, balancing rocks, and over 2,000 arches. The bright colors and confounding shapes make the rock features seem dynamic and buzzing with curious energy. You’ll soar over several arches, including Delicate Arch and stunning rock features, for a perspective that few get to enjoy.

Canyonlands National Park, in comparison, can be the yin to Arches’ yang. Canyonlands is significantly larger and is separated into districts of distinct terrain and marvels. 

The sweeping horizons and sheer canyon drops feel frozen in time and create a silent magic in the scenery. Witnessing the endless expanse of canyons, mesas, and plateaus can leave you spellbound and as speechless as the surrounding environment. You will gain access to the remote, restricted areas of Canyonlands that are home to amazing feats of mother nature, like the Needles District, Shafer Trail, and Upheaval Dome.

Our expert airplane pilots fly over every must-see view in these awe-inspiring parks, pointing out every notable sight you may have missed if you stayed on the ground. While you soar over the distinct terrain of each park, our seasoned pilots will identify the different features, share comparisons of the parks’ characteristics, and explain how each area near Moab is integral to the timeless beauty of the area.
