About

A helicopter is the only way to descend below the canyon's rim to the Colorado River floor itself, landing on private Hualapai land for a champagne toast a mile down from where the rim tours stop. The flight out from Las Vegas crosses Hoover Dam and Lake Mead before the canyon walls open up beneath the aircraft. Morning flights have calmer air and clearer views, book the earliest departure the operator offers.
