Surrounded by mountain ranges, the desert metropolis of Phoenix is a truly stunning sight at sunset, when the city lights start twinkling as the sky goes dark, highlighting the contrast between rugged Arizona mountains and urban splendor. Take an approximate 45-minute flight over Phoenix in either a fixed-wing Cessna Caravan or a Cessna T207 to experience this amazing sight. These high-winged airplanes (meaning the wings are above the windows and not blocking any views) are perfect for flightseeing and picture-taking.
Highlights
- Sunset aerial tour over Phoenix
- Admire the whole valley from a bird's point of view
- See the University of Phoenix Stadium and Phoenix International Raceway
- Watch the sun set behind Phoenix's surrounding mountains
See the Phoenix valley from an incredible point of view, as the sun sets behind the mountains and the city starts lighting up, creating a beautiful desert glow.
Your 45-minute tour of Phoenix at sunset will give you a cardinal's-eye view of well-known Phoenix-area sites like the University of Phoenix Stadium. Unlike any other in North America, the stadium – home to the Fiesta Bowl and the Arizona Cardinals NFL team – is a marvel of design, engineering and technology with a retractable roof and field.
You’ll also fly over the Phoenix International Raceway, soar around the South Mountains and then head back north across Sky Harbor. See where pro sports teams like the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks play. Fly above Symphony Hall, the Arizona Science Center, the Phoenix Art Museum and more.
You'll head up the central valley before landing back at Deer Valley.
