Helicopter flight to Grand Canyon


Wow - what a fantastic way to see the Grand Canyon. We flew over the Hoover Dam and then into the canyon, landing on the canyon floor. Neither of us had been on a helicopter before and I know I was extremely nervous. I shouldn't have been; it was all very comfortable and it just felt as though you were floating over the land. We were going at 150mph but it didn't feel like it. We were very fortunate to get the front two seats on the way to the Canyon and we got some fabulous photographs. On the way we flew over the Hoover Dam. We landed in the canyon and had a champagne breakfast after taking some more photographs.
On the way back we flew over the Vegas strip. We had no idea how big Las Vegas as a town is, the strip must account for less than 1% of the town.
An amazing start to our second day in Vegas.
