Operated by Redtail Air · Moab, Utah
You lift off from a small desert apron and the town of Moab shrinks into a patchwork of red roofs and sage-gray flats. The helicopter climbs with a hush, the valley opening like a map beneath you—rivers cutting silver lines, mesas stacked in stratified bands, and a canyon rim that drops away in heart-stopping relief. For sixty minutes the ground rearranges itself into a sequence of revelations: Dead Horse Point’s 2,000-foot overlook, the pale sweep of Potash Ponds, and the lonely spire of Castleton Tower pushing upward from a sea of rust-colored stone.
