Canyonlands National Park Airplane Tour from Moab, UT

This spectacular small plane Canyonlands tour will carry you above the fantastic scenery of the northern district of Canyonlands National Park, Island in the Sky. Majestic 1,000-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 two rivers forms 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 backcountry, are also included. Photographic opportunities abound!

Hiking to these arches would take several multi-day permitted visits and are beyond the physical reach of many people. On this flight, you will see them all—jewels among the many wondrous features of this national park. And unlike hikers, you will see their magnificent surroundings with a bird’s-eye view of the vastness of this remarkable portion of the earth. A unique and special opportunity awaits you on this Canyonlands National Park tour.
