Our Recommendation

The right side offers superior perspectives of Lake Mead, the remote northern reaches of the Grand Canyon, and the spectacular confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Hoover Dam & Lake Mead

The massive concrete dam and the deep blue waters of the reservoir against the dark volcanic rock.

๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Grand Canyon North Rim

Unparalleled views into the deepening chasm and side canyons of the Grand Canyon's remote sections.

๐ŸŒŠ

Lake Powell

The winding, turquoise waters of Glen Canyon as it snakes through the desert landscape.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Henry Mountains

The last mountain range to be mapped in the lower 48 states, often capped with snow.

๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Canyonlands Confluence

The dramatic meeting point where the Green River joins the Colorado River amidst deep canyons.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Uncompahgre Plateau

The high, forested plateau that marks the final transition into the Grand Valley of Colorado.

The right side is best for river enthusiasts; you will follow the Colorado River corridor for much of the flight. For the most dramatic shadows in the canyons, afternoon flights are recommended. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best view of the Hoover Dam.

Left Side Highlights
8.7

Valley of Fire

Capitol Reef

The massive Waterpocket Fold, a 100-mile long wrinkle in the Earth's crust, is clearly visible.

Arches National Park

The dense concentration of natural stone arches and red rock fins near Moab, Utah.

The Book Cliffs

Expansive, cream-colored desert escarpments that parallel the flight path into Grand Junction.

Sit on the left for the best views of Utah's 'Mighty 5' national parks. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the red rock faces. In winter, the snow-dusted canyons provide incredible visual contrast.
