SEE UNPARALLELED VIEWS OF CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK AND MORE

Helicopters are not allowed over the park, but we get as close as possible to the dramatic vistas found in and around Canyonlands National Park. Your pilot will identify and offer several vantage points of famous areas like Thelma and Louise Point and Dead Horse Point. 

As you fly to and from the park, your pilot will point out dozens of stunning rock features hiding in plain sight. Get unparalleled views of the vibrant Potash Ponds, Corona Arch, Pritchett Arch, Halls Bridge, Funnel Arch, Kane Creek Canyon, Behind the Rocks and many other spectacular sights that would take weeks to see by foot.

TAKE IN VIEWS ONLY AVAILABLE ON THE EXTENDED TOUR

The extra time spent in the air on this extended tour will take you even further into Moab Valley. As you cross into Castle Valley, you will approach Castleton Tower, one of the world’s most famous rock features, standing proudly against the sky. As you continue to Porcupine Rim, you may spot brave mountain bikers tackling a technical trail near the cliff’s edge.

You will also get a bird’s eye view of the world-famous Hells Revenge Jeep Trail, where you can watch rowdy vehicles kicking up dust. As you make your way home, your pilot will share stunning perspectives of Otho Natural Bridge – a giant, prominent natural rock bridge stretching hundreds of feet.
