If there's a place on the planet where nature's majesty is more spectacular than Arizona's Grand Canyon, I can't come up with it. In fact, it is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
The vistas are incredible and offer a window into the region's unique geology. The canyon is immense (over a million acres!) and there's a lot to see. Thanks to Grand Canyon airplane tours, you can see a vast portion of the region in a short amount of time.
Here are some interesting facts about this fascinating place,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The canyon is an average of 10 miles across but the widest portion is 18 miles It is 277 miles long Over a mile deep The Colorado River chiseled the canyon out of the Kaibab Plateau over the course of millions of years Three strata comprise the canyon, the Supergroup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Paleozoic, and the Vishnu Basement layer that holds some of the most ancient exposed rocks on the planet
Flights From Las Vegas
Grand Canyon plane tours fly every day from Las Vegas. You have your choice of an air only tour and a landing tour, both of them let you see the massive Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. The air-only tours are best if you don't have much time or money to spend. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the landing tours are very popular. There are some fantastic options for landing tours.
For example, you would love the fun landing tour package that includes a chopper descent to the bottom of the canyon and a raft trip down the Colorado River. Another fun tour comes with passes to the thrilling glass Skywalk. At the farthest point,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you will be standing on a glass bridge 70 feet beyond the canyon wall and 4000 feet above the bottom!
You can also choose to fly to the South Rim from Vegas and the flight only takes about an hour,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. That is sure more convenient than taking a 5-hour bus tour to get there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! These particular tours include a 2-hour bus tour of the National Park once you get to the South Rim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. A fabulous helicopter ride through Dragoon Corridor is an exciting optional add-on.
Flights To The South Rim
South Rim plane tours fly daily out of Grand Canyon National Park Airport (GCN) in Tusayan, AZ. You can choose a short thirty-minute flight or a longer fifty-minute version. I strongly recommend the longer tour.
You will see many notable landmarks on your aerial tour including Marble Canyon in the eastern part of the canyon. Other sights near the Park's eastern boundary include the Colorado Confluence (the point where the Colorado and the Little Colorado River come together) and the only bridge connecting the South and North Rims.
You flight also takes you to the remote areas of the North Rim, which is close November through April. You will be impressed by the largest stand of Ponderosa Pines in the entire country and if you are lucky,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you will spot mountain lions, hawks, big horn sheep, California condors,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], elk, or gray fox. From there, you'll fly through dramatic Dragoon Corridor, the deepest, widest part of the entire canyon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on the way back to landing at GCN.
Wrapping Up
The Grand Canyon is so immense, it is impossible to see very much of it from the ground in a single day. If you go to the National Park, you should definitely try to see as much of it as possible. You won't see it all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even from an airplane, but you will see most of it. That sums up why airplane tours are so popular at the Grand Canyon!
