Scenic flight, Pilot briefing
Climb aboard a Cessna 182 for a pilot-led scenic flight over the Sierra Nevada backcountry. Start with a briefing from the chief pilot before taking to the air.
A flight tour is the perfect way to explore this remote country quickly and provides unmatched photography perspectives. Our Sierra Nevada flight commences at Pine Mountain Lake Airport and fly’s over Tuolumne Canyon, Cherry Lake into the Emigrant wilderness, the tour has unforgettable views into the expansive Yosemite National Park.
The Emigrant Wilderness is a glaciated landscape of great scenic beauty. The northeastern third of the wilderness is dominated by volcanic ridges and peaks; the remaining areas consist of many sparsely vegetated, granitic ridges interspersed with numerous lakes and beautiful meadows.
This tour will provide you with a spectacular view of untouched wilderness, as well as views into the famous Yosemite National Park, where you will be able to see “tunnel view” from the air. You will see the famous walls of El Capitan, Half Dome and Yosemite Valley.
