A Moab scenic flight shows you the red-rock fins and spans of Arches National Park and the mesas and canyon country around Moab from a window seat, with live narration as you go. On the longer Canyonlands flight you may see Island in the Sky and Upheaval Dome, weather permitting.
The Moab / Canyonlands hub has three shared airplane flights from Canyonlands Field Airport (CNY), about 18 to 20 miles north of downtown Moab. All are continuous overflights, with no park landings and no rim hike stops.
