What You’ll See
Hoover Dam
As the rotors begin to whirl, you’ll first pass the monumental Hoover Dam, an architectural behemoth that tames the Colorado River. This dam presents a story of human tenacity and ingenuity, with its concrete walls holding back the vast Lake Mead. Its scale and history are as impressive from the skies as they are up close.
Lake Mead
Next, the helicopter soars over Lake Mead, a body of water that’s as tranquil as it is titanic. You’ll see the sunlight glinting off its surface and understand why this area is a favored escape for locals and visitors seeking recreation and repose alike.
Black Canyon
Then, witness the drama of the Black Canyon, where dark volcanic rocks provide a stark contrast to the shimmering waters below. It’s a less-visited gem that exudes an aura of the Grand Canyon’s untamed spirit.
Colorado River
As you enter Grand Canyon airspace, the Colorado River comes into view. Carving its way through the rock, the river is both artist and artifact, sculpting the canyon over countless millennia. This aerial vantage point captures its winding journey – an epic tale told in curves and rapids.
Las Vegas Strip
Before your descent, the helicopter will sweep over the Las Vegas Strip, a dazzling array of lights and landmarks that’s as charismatic from above as it is on the ground.
Taking An In-Depth Look

The South Rim of the Canyon is often the most photographed, famed for its panoramic vistas and incredible depths. From above, you get to appreciate the vastness without the crowds. Meanwhile, the North Rim offers a more rugged and remote experience, usually less visited but equally stunning from the skies. The West Rim is home to the Skywalk, a glass bridge that extends out over the canyon, which you’ll see people bravely walking out onto from your aerial vantage point.
