Zion Helicopters
Scenic helicopter tours of Zion and the surrounding wilderness, flown from a base a mile from the park entrance in Virgin.
Flying from a base a mile from the park entrance in Virgin puts the aircraft over the landscape within minutes of lifting off. A helicopter tour is the only way to see the country immediately around Zion from the air at low level — the national park itself is closed to tour overflight, so these routes work the surrounding wilderness, which is less famous and no less dramatic.
How it works
National parks are closed to low-level tour overflight, which is a deliberate protection of the quiet on the ground and the reason no operator can fly a helicopter through Zion Canyon. What tour flights actually cover is the surrounding country — the Kolob plateau, Smith Mesa and the canyons north and west of the park boundary, none of which carry a famous name.
