Flying Home at Golden Hour | Zion to Vegas in Our 182

After a full day of hiking Zion National Park, we climbed back into our Cessna 182 “Mojo” and took to the skies for a golden-hour flight back to Las Vegas. Departing St. George in the late afternoon, we flew over stunning southern Utah terrain, crossed Lake Mead, and made our way into Henderson Executive just in time for an evening landing. It was the perfect way to wrap up a weekend adventure — red rock views, a smooth ride home, and one of our favorite routes in the 182. 📍 Route: St. George, UT (KSGU) → Henderson, NV (KHND) 🛩️ Aircraft: 1957 Cessna 182A “Mojo” 🎒 Trip Highlight: Full day hiking Zion, capped with a scenic desert flight 🎧 PODCAST: Captain John Doe Wild, anonymous aviation stories every Wednesday.
