Gunsight Pass is a named notch on Sedona’s Secret Wilderness helicopter path — the kind of saddle that reads as a clean cut between canyon walls once you are lined up on it from the air. It is not a stop on the short Everything tickets. You reach it after Bear Sign Canyon and Secret Canyon on the 30-minute Secret Wilderness route, so the pass is a middle-chapter beat on a longer west-side flight rather than a standalone short hop.
Only the shared Sedona Secret Wilderness 30-Minute Helicopter Tour lists Gunsight Pass among its named route beats: about 30 to 32 minutes, over 45 miles, from US$465 per person, shared for up to six with forward-facing seats. The path still opens with Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Praying Hands, Snoopy Rock, and the other Everything names, then turns into Bear Sign Canyon, Secret Canyon, and Gunsight Pass before Boynton Canyon, Long Canyon with Sinagua cliff dwellings, and the return via Boynton Vortex, Cox Comb, and Chimney Rock. Live times show when you book.
The 10- and 15-minute Everything flights stay on the classic red-rock and Boynton list without Gunsight Pass. The 20-minute Ancient Ruins ticket adds Boynton and Long canyons with ruins but does not name the pass. The 50-minute Mogollon Rim flight covers three wilderness areas and ruins on a different long arc; it is not sold as a Gunsight Pass tour. Choose Secret Wilderness when the pass and Secret Canyon country are why you want more than a short red-rock loop.
You do not land at Gunsight Pass, hike the saddle, or leave the aircraft between takeoff and the Sedona Airport return. Scenic overflight only. Afternoon haze or cloud can mute the notch even when the airport is open. Cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure for a full refund. If the flight is cancelled for bad weather, another time or a refund appears when you book.
Secret Wilderness is the wider frame that contains this pass. Boynton Canyon and Sinagua ruins follow it on the same 30-minute ticket. Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock still open the flight so the pass feels earned after the postcard rocks. Use the Sedona hub to step from short Everything tickets up to Secret Wilderness when Gunsight Pass belongs on your list.
Check in at the red building at Sedona Airport, 1200 Airport Rd, Sedona, AZ 86336. Arrive 30 minutes early; any-size carry-on bags and purses stay behind. Air-conditioned cabin and noise-reducing headsets with microphones are included; gratuities are not. Weight bands: standard up to 229 lbs, then Comfort and Comfort Plus. Book the Secret Wilderness Experience when Gunsight Pass from the air is part of the canyon sequence you came for.
Because Gunsight Pass appears only on the Secret Wilderness product among the five Sedona Experiences, treat any short Everything photo of a distant saddle as unrelated marketing — this hub does not promise the pass on 10- or 15-minute tickets. The same 30-minute flight still includes the classic red-rock names so first-time visitors are not dropped straight into wilderness without context. Headsets with microphones and air-conditioning are included; gratuities are not. Shared cabin capacity is up to six; flights go ahead with at least two seats sold. Weight bands start at 229 lbs for a standard seat. Dress in layers and bring water. Book Secret Wilderness on the Sedona hub when Gunsight Pass belongs in the middle of your canyon sequence rather than on a short formation loop.
