Today was extra special-- we made a last minute decision to
book a flight with Redtail Aviation at Canyonlands Fields, in Moab. Our pilot Nick flew us on a Cessna 172, over Canyonlands National Park, the Green River, the Colorado River, Arches National Park, and Moab, UT. It was fabulous, more than we could have imagined! No winds, so it was as smooth as riding in a car...maybe smoother!
After our flight we drove to Bryce Canyon and on the way to Bryce we went through Red Canyon, which had us drive through 2 arch tunnels.
