Booked by scenset
Sitting on the southern border of Zion, Springdale, population 529, is more than just a parking lot for the park. It rests in the shadow of the towering red, white and pink striped cliffs that define Southern Utah, essentially an incorporated annex of the park proper, giving you incredible views right from the main drag, aptly named Zion Park Blvd. It’s got plenty of entertainment for those not quite ready to renounce civilization altogether, and lots of outdoor retailers for those of us who are.
Take to the skies early in the day and finish your day running through the red rocks with a guide on your Can-Am X3's.
This once in a lifetime flight with spectacular views of West Zion, Kolob Canyons, & Smith Mesa is like no other, but the best part of this tour is yet to come with an aerial adventure over the breathtaking Canaan Mountain Wilderness Area where you will get a true helicopter experience when flying close to the amazing rock formations and right over 2,000’ sheer cliffs.
