On this helicopter tour you will depart from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and fly over the beautiful Kaibab National Forest, home to the world's largest ponderosa pine forest. Enjoy the spectacular view as you reach the edge of the canyon. The South Rim gently drops away as the North Rim and eastern end of the canyon come into view, an incredible sight not to be forgotten.
It is even possible to see the Painted Desert and the Desert View Watchtower in the distance designed by the Hopi Indians. Your journey will then continue as you follow the Colorado River upstream to where it merges with the Little Colorado River. You will have a bird's eye view of the Marble Canyon and Point Imperial as you fly through the canyon and climb above the North Rim. Then you will head south through the Dragon Corridor, the widest and deepest part of the canyon.
Finally you will cross back over the Colorado River, the South Rim and the Kaibab National Forest landing back at the Grand Canyon Airport. This Grand Canyon South Rim tour will provide you with memories of a lifetime.
The tour departs from Grand Canyon South Rim Terminal and will last approximately 45 - 50 minutes. Please ensure you bring your camera, sunscreen and photo ID.
