Overview

Take off from the South Rim at Grand Canyon National Park Airport on a shared helicopter sightseeing tour that showcases the wild North Rim's deepest gorges and most rugged sights. The helicopter crosses the South Rim plateau near the Kaibab Forest, giving you a first wide angle look into the gorge and the vast layered rock formations below. You soon fly above the North Rim's deepest and widest sections, where you can peer nearly five thousand feet down and spot the Colorado River winding its way through the rock.

The route continues toward the northern region, where the landscape shifts to a more forested plateau with lush vegetation and wildlife. After a pass over this remote part of the national park, including landmarks like Tower of Ra and Vishnu Schist, the helicopter turns into the Dragon Corridor, one of the most photogenic stretches of the Grand Canyon with color contrasts.

This helicopter tour is ideal if you want to see the North Rim's iconic wild viewpoints from the sky.
