Visitors who are awestruck by the enormity of the southeastern Utah landscape might want to consider seeing it by air instead of by foot. Located near all of the region's attractions, Canyonlands Field Airport is a convenient center for aviation activities. In just one hour, scenic charter flights and guided air tours can cover thousands of square miles of the rugged landscape, and offer breathtaking bird's-eye views of colossal canyons, snow-capped peaks, and wild rivers.
Adventurous types should go for the tandem skydiving, an incredible experience that includes a thrilling freefall followed by the peace and beauty of a slow parachute descent. The airport also offers flight instruction and aircraft rental for licensed pilots.
