Tour Itinerary

Your journey begins at Scottsdale Airpark, where you’ll meet your pilot and board your private helicopter. Once airborne, we head east over the rugged wildlands of the Sonoran Desert, tracing the winding path of the Salt River. Fed by high-altitude springs and streams 100 miles to the northeast, the river winds through the landscape, creating four distinct lakes below—Saguaro, Canyon, Apache, and Roosevelt.

Along the way, you may spot hidden coves, rugged desert mountains, bald eagles, and wild horses cooling off along the riverbanks. The flight culminates with a landing atop the breathtaking plateau of Roosevelt Point, where you’ll step out to the ridge of Spire Canyon and take in sweeping, panoramic views of the canyon and desert below. With 30 minutes on the summit, there is plenty of time to soak in the scenery, capture photos, and celebrate the moment.

Your return flight takes you through the Saddle of Four Peaks and into the Verde River Valley, where the lush riparian landscape offers a striking contrast to the desert before descending back to Scottsdale.
