Sunset Helicopter Tour of the Mogollon Rim

Trade steep switchbacks for panoramic windows in this 50-minute helicopter adventure. You’ll soar 80 miles over Sycamore Canyon, Secret Mountain, and the Munds Mountain Wilderness, pausing above Sinagua cliff dwellings unreachable on foot. Each turn reveals a new vista—no dusty boots required.

This isn’t a simple hop over red rocks; it’s a deep dive into Sedona’s wildest reaches. From Sedona Airport, you’ll board a sleek chopper outfitted with forward-facing seats and noise-reducing headsets. As the rotors lift you, Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock shrink beneath, replaced by the sprawling Sycamore Canyon, Secret Mountain, and Munds Mountain Wilderness areas.

Your pilot banks into narrow passes, weaving you through sandstone towers carved by ancient waters. Look down to spot grazing mule deer and cliffside Sinagua dwellings clinging to ochre walls—ruins untouched by foot traffic for centuries. The cabin slows at vantage points for uninterrupted photo ops, accompanied by live commentary that weaves geology, local lore, and ancestral stories into every sweep of the landscape.

Over 80 miles in just under an hour, you’ll experience Sedona’s grandeur without breaking a sweat. Air conditioning keeps the cabin cool as sunlight shifts across towering pinnacles. Whether you’re a shutterbug chasing golden-hour hues or a history buff hungry for hidden ruins, this small-group tour (max six passengers) delivers front-row access to landscapes few ever see. Land back at the airport with a fresh perspective on Sedona’s secret wilderness—no hiking boots required.
