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 had the most amazing experience, from start to finish, with Redtail Air Adventures! I had originally scheduled a helicopter tour for the morning of my birthday, however due to the flight schedule, they called to let me know that the helicopter needed routine maintenance & wouldn’t be available that day. I was so disappointed, but they quickly arranged for my husband and I to do a complimentary airplane tour instead. I was blown away by their generosity and kindness. We had spent the past 2 days hiking Canyonlands and Arches NP, and to see it then from the air was amazing. Views were unparalleled and our pilot was awesome! If we’re ever back in Moab, we will definitely be doing another tour. Book with Redtail, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks to the entire team at Redtail for kicking off my special day in the most amazing way!
