Canyonlands National Park Airplane Tour

Overview

This spectacular Redtail Air Adventures flight will carry you above the fantastic scenery of Canyonlands National Park. Majestic 1000-foot high cliffs rise above the Colorado and Green Rivers, which border it on either side. Serpentine drainage systems are carved into the terrain below the cliffs. Upheaval Dome can be seen at its northern end; the Confluence of the the two rivers form the district’s southernmost point. Then on to the Needles District, the most fanciful and colorful portion of Canyonlands. Pink and white bands can be seen in its many spires and cliffs, and it is the home of some of the most remote and famous arches of canyon country. Difficult to reach by hiking and extremely beautiful, Angel Arch and Druid Arches are the best known. Elephant Arch, Kirk Arch, Wedding Ring Arch and Castle Arch, hidden away in the back country, are also included. Photographic opportunities abound!

We went on this flight as an optional Riviera trip. It was amazing and I would recommend it to everyone. We were on a small 4 seater aircraft. Our pilot was James who was very sympathetic towards nervous passengers and explained everything. We were in touch with each other during the whole trip. He was very friendly and informative about Canyonlands and the views were unsurpassable. A truly unforgettable experience.

I learned a lot. Desi shared a lot of information. The views were breathtaking. We flew where a casual tourist would have had no chance of seeing. We learned history and names of rivers and geological formations. A great tour.
