VFR Colorado River Flight

This series of flights will take you from Walden Jackson C0 (33V) to San Felipe International (MMSF).
All along the Colorado river, from it’s souce in the Rocky Mountains Nationalpark in Colorado to it’s estuary in Mexico. You will visit the highlands of the Colorado Plateau, some canyons like Glenwood Canyon in Colorado, Glen Canyon in Utah, Marble Canyon and Grand Canyon in Arizona. Have a look at Lake Mead, followed by the Mojave Desert and Sonora Desert.

I recommend the following planes for the trip:

  • Cessna 152 / 172 Skyhawk
  • XCub / Savage Cub / Shuck Ultra
  • CAP 10
