Tour Itinerary
Your journey begins in Phoenix as you board your aircraft for a scenic flight above the rugged ridges of the Tonto National Forest. Climbing north across the Mogollon Rim, you will soar directly over the vast expanses of the Grand Canyon and Marble Canyon before reaching the azure waters of Lake Powell and the dramatic sandstone arch of Rainbow Bridge.
From Lake Powell, the flight path sweeps east across the Utah border for low-altitude aerial views of Monument Valley’s world-famous sandstone monoliths, the Mittens, and towering desert buttes. Next, touch down in Page, Arizona, where you will join an authentic Navajo-guided walking tour through the undulating, light-sculpted sandstone corridors of Antelope Canyon.
After your slot canyon walk, enjoy an included lunch before reboarding the aircraft. The return flight takes you directly over Horseshoe Bend, tracing the dramatic 1,000-foot drop of the Colorado River before heading south back to the Phoenix terminal.
