The Grand Canyon, located in Arizona in the United States, is one of the most spectacular natural sights on Earth.
The spectacular canyon created by erosion and by the flow of the Colorado River through the desert in which it is located has created a massive chasm in the Earth’s surface that extends for 277 miles and reaches a maximum depth of 6,093 feet.
If you are looking for a unique way to see the Grand Canyon and to gain a different perspective of its impressive scale, one of the best ways to do so is to go on a helicopter tour of the canyon.
There are helicopter tours that depart both from the south rim and the north rim of the canyon, each offering unique and different perspectives. If you find yourself on vacation in Las Vegas, Nevada, there are even longer tours that take you through the desert and to the canyon from Sin City.
Helicopter tours of the Grand Canyon have the advantage of giving visitors an up-close aerial perspective of the canyon that can’t be seen any other way.
Why is this? Helicopter tours are able to dip down close to the canyon at a level that airplanes cannot reach. This allows people to see the canyon from a unique perspective and to appreciate its true scale and depth.
