Sierra Air Helicopters

Scenic helicopter tours of Gold Country from the Auburn Airport.

Sierra Air Helicopters provides scenic aerial flights over Auburn, the American River canyons, and the wider Gold Country from its base at the Auburn airport. Tours fly in Robinson R44 helicopters carrying up to three passengers, tracing landmarks such as the Foresthill Bridge, the Confluence, Lake Clementine, the North and Middle Forks of the American River, the Mountain Quarries Bridge, Folsom Lake, and Old Town Auburn. The company has served the Auburn and Sacramento area for about a decade and also offers aerial photography, flight instruction, and custom packages for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, and corporate events, with some flights including a champagne toast. Visitors book it for a rare bird's-eye perspective on Gold Country's dramatic river canyons and historic bridges, plus the flexibility to tailor a flight around a special occasion.
