Well, it�s almost here � the day most Americans wait for eagerly � the July 4th holiday! If you�re considering a trip to Grand Canyon National Park for Independence Day, you�d better book your tour right away. July 4th is one of the Park�s most popular times, and tours on Grand Canyon helicopters traditionally sell out fast.
Chopper tours fly out of Tusayan, AZ (where Grand Canyon National Park Airport is located) and Las Vegas, NV. Tusayan flights do the South Rim, while Vegas tours head for Grand Canyon West.
South Rim Tours
At the South Rim, flights on Grand Canyon helicopters come in two versions: a 30-minute rim-to-rim tour (South to North and back, including a flight through dramatic Dragoon Corridor); and a more extensive tour that gives you 50 minutes of airtime.
The longer flight includes everything in the 30-minute tour but so much more. It�s become my personal favorite at this Rim. You�ll see the South Rim, the North Rim, and everything up to the Park�s eastern boundary. All told, it covers about � of the entire National Park!
South Rim choppers aren�t allowed to fly below the level of the rim or land on the bottom. That unique experience is only possible at the West Rim.
West Rim Tours
Flying from morning until sundown, these Grand Canyon helicopters depart from Vegas-area airfields every hour. They come in air-only and enhanced landing versions.
The air-only tours are cheapest and they�re a great value. They�re perfect for folks who are short on time, have limited funds, or just want to get the flavor of the canyon. Besides Grand Canyon West, you�ll see Hoover Dam and Lake Mead during one of these flights.
The landing flights are my favorites, though. As I mentioned before, the West Rim is the only place where your chopper can land on the bottom, almost 4,000 feet below the edge of the rim! That�s exciting enough, but it also enables you to add some terrific side trips.
The tour that lands on the bottom and includes a Champagne picnic is one of the most popular. A lot of folks make it even better by adding a float trip down the Colorado River. Another popular package adds VIP access to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. This all-glass cantilevered bridge lets you walk 70 feet past the edge of the rim!
Booking and Discounts
The July 4th holiday is one of the Park�s most popular times, and helicopter tours almost always sell out. That�s why I strongly urge you to book your flight at least a week or two ahead of time. You�ll be able to get a seat and have a better shot at snagging one of the preferred flight times (morning flights are best).
The best prices are always on the �Net. But don�t buy your seats from one of the big-box travel sites like Viator, Orbitz or Priceline. Buy direct, from the tour company�s website. Complete your purchase on their site and you�ll get a super Internet discount!
Summing Up
Summer is always busy at the Grand Canyon, but many folks make a special point of going there for the July 4th holiday. That makes it important to book your helicopter tour at least a week in advance. To get the special Internet price, you�ll need to complete your purchase on the tour company�s website.
