*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Are you trying to decide on a fantastic present for your mother's holiday this year? A really great idea for you is to take your Mom on a thrilling helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. The choppers fly as usual on that day, so you can take her to either one of the rims. However, the best option is probably to take her to the West Rim and choose a flight that descends to the bottom of the canyon where you can enjoy a champagne brunch!
Mom's holiday falls on a Sunday, the 12th of May. Although the date is kind of far away, you should not waste time booking your seats. Grand Canyon helicopters fill up quickly, especially on holidays. So book your seats as early as possible.
You should plan on getting your seats one to two weeks in advance of your trip. There are several benefits of booking in advance:
1. You will have your choice of tours and flight times.
2. A lower rate.
3. And If you're traveling with other folks, you'll be able to get everyone a seat.
Because choppers only hold six passengers, book well ahead so your group can all fly in the same aircraft (your Mom wouldn't want to be with strangers instead of her family!). Plus, the flight time you pick is important. I suggest morning departures because that's when the visibility is best and the air is less turbulent.
Grand Canyon choppers depart from two locations, Las Vegas where flights go to the South Rim or West Rim, and Grand Canyon National Park Airport in Tusayan, AZ where you can fly to the South Rim only. Just pick the rim you think your Mom would enjoy the most. The South Rim is ideal if she admires nature's beauty and wants to see if from afar. The West Rim is recommended if your Mom likes thrills and adventure.
Touring The South Rim
Travelers coming from Phoenix, Sedona, Scottsdale and other AZ locations should drive to GCA (it's a scenic route). From the airport, you fly to the South Rim, and then to the North Rim and back in a 30 or 50 minute flight. The longer flight is the same as the shorter one except it includes a trip to the east side of the National Park too.
You can take a tour of the South Rim if you leave from Vegas too, you'll just have to add an additional step. Because the South Rim is outside the range of choppers from Vegas, you'd need to take a plane to GCA and then board your copter there.
Tours Of The West Rim
Remember the champagne brunch tour at the bottom of the canyon that was previously mentioned? You can only take that tour if you leave from Vegas since the West Rim is the only location where helicopters can descend below the rim of the canyon. On your way to the West Rim you will see the massive Hoover Dam and impressive Lake Mead. After arriving at the canyon, you'll fly 4,000 feet down to the bottom, where you'll enjoy brunch and explore on foot.
The other West Rim tour that I think would be great for Mom's special day includes VIP access to the fabulous Grand Canyon Skywalk (the Glass Bridge). Think of the thrill she would get standing on a glass sidewalk 4000 ft above the canyon floor and 70 ft from the edge of the rim!
In Conclusion
A helicopter tour would be a terrific way to celebrate your Mom's special day. Be sure to check your options and choose a fantastic trip for your Mom. If you are lucky enough to be in Vegas, then picking the tour to the West Rim that includes a champagne brunch is a good deal. If you opt for the South Rim instead, look for a tour company that offers the EcoStar 130 helicopter. This particular aircraft is one of the best for sightseeing and it's comfortable, too. No matter which trip you choose, your Mom will surely remember your trip together for a lifetime!
