Sunset in Canyon Country Air Tour

About This Adventure

This 60-minute sunset flight covers Arches, Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point, and the Colorado River corridor bathed in the deep amber of golden hour. The iron oxide in the sandstone responds to low-angle light in ways that require being at altitude to fully appreciate — formations that look dramatic at noon become incandescent in the last forty minutes before sunset.

Your pilot knows the geography and the light schedule: which formations catch the glow first, which canyon systems fill with shadow in a way that creates depth and drama, where to be at the precise moment the sun breaks the horizon line. Departs one hour before sunset.
