Can you imagine a better way to celebrate Memorial Day than by taking a terrific Grand Canyon helicopter tour? Memorial Day 2013 falls on Monday, May 27, and plenty of folks will turn it into a 3-day weekend. The Grand Canyon is a popular holiday destination, and chopper tours usually sell out very quickly. I urge you to book now if you decide to take one of these great adventures.
Grand Canyon helicopters fly out of Tusayan, Arizona (just outside the South Rim gates) and Las Vegas, Nevada. Flights take off hourly and are running on their regular schedules over the holiday. Flights out of Tusayan visit the South Rim, while Vegas flights head for Grand Canyon West (a/k/a the West Rim).
Each departure point has some great things to offer.
South Rim Grand Canyon Helicopters
Air-only and landing flights are offered at the South Rim. The two tours that are the most popular are the 30-minute and 50-minute air-only flights. Both take off from Grand Canyon National Park Airport at Tusayan. The 30-minute version flies from the South Rim to the North Rim and back. The 50-minute tour makes the same flight, but adds everything up to the eastern boundary of the National Park (even the fabulous Painted Desert!).
Two fantastic landing tours are also offered. One includes the 30-minute flight I mentioned above and adds a terrific Harley motorcycle ride through the National Park. The other combines the flight with an amazing sunset 4x4 ride to the edge of the canyon. Seats are limited, so book quickly if one of these packages interests you.
Las Vegas Grand Canyon Helicopters
Vegas helicopters only fly to the West Rim. If you�ll be in Vegas but want to see the South Rim, I suggest booking one of the airplane packages that include a South Rim helicopter tour.
The West Rim also offers air-only and landing helicopter tours. One of the best things about West Rim helicopter tours is the fact that this is the only place in the entire Park where choppers can fly below the rim and land on the canyon bottom.
The air-only tours are terrific, though, especially for travelers who are short on time. On the way to the canyon they pass over sights like Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and Grand Cliffs Wash. Once your chopper arrives, you�ll fly over the fabulous Grand Canyon Skywalk (the �Glass Bridge�) before turning for home.
Landing flights are more comprehensive, and as such, they�re my favorites. The tour that lands on the canyon floor and includes a champagne picnic is a terrific pick for Memorial Day. The trip down is a 3,500-foot descent and you�ll picnic next to the Colorado River! A smooth-water rafting tour is a popular add-on for this flight.
Another popular landing flight includes VIP access to the world-renowned Glass Bridge. Constructed entirely of glass, the Skywalk lets travelers walk 70 feet out past the rim�s edge. At its apex, you�ll be standing about 4,000 feet above the bottom with incredible views all around you!
Wrapping Up
Memorial Day weekend is closing in on us fast. If you�ll be in the area, I recommend taking a Grand Canyon helicopter tour while you�re there. Holiday flights typically sell out fast, and this is the first real holiday of the summer. That makes it smart to book your seats at least a week ahead.That makes it smart to book your seats at least a week ahead. Lastly, book your tour online as that's the surefire way to get the lowest rates possible.
