Amangiri is redefining how travelers experience Utah’s iconic “Mighty 5” national parks, offering guests an air-based approach that replaces long desert drives with immersive, time-maximizing adventures.
Through two distinct aerial excursions – one by private plane and the other by helicopter – the resort now provides access to all five of Utah’s national parks in a way that prioritizes comfort, flexibility, and deeper exploration of the region’s dramatic landscapes. For those looking to cover serious ground efficiently, the private plane experience departs from Page Airport, located 25 minutes from Amangiri.
Guests board a KingAir 200 or Pilatus PC-12 NG and soar over the vast canyons and mesas of the Colorado Plateau, reaching Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef in under an hour. What would normally require hours of driving becomes a streamlined journey.
Each flight is paired with a four-hour private tour tailored to individual interests, whether that means standing beneath the iconic curve of Delicate Arch, taking in the sweeping views from Canyonlands’ Island in the Sky, or exploring the rugged terrain and hidden arches of Capitol Reef. This option is especially appealing from October through March, when cooler temps and fewer crowds make for a more intimate experience.
Closer to the resort, Amangiri’s helicopter excursions offer an equally striking perspective. Departing from the property’s private helipad, tucked discreetly among sandstone formations, guests lift off for sweeping aerial views of Lake Powell, Glen Canyon, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon, and Zion. These flights can be scenic or paired with optional guided landings that allow guests to explore key viewpoints up close with guides.
With private plane and helicopter options now available, Amangiri has created a comprehensive and visually rich way to experience all five of Utah’s national parks. The result is a travel experience that balances efficiency with immersion, allowing guests to fully appreciate the scale, diversity, and beauty of the American Southwest. Learn more at aman.com.
