A Grand Canyon Helicopter Editorial Image

The Grand Canyon stretches over 270 miles and has a width of up to 18 miles, so it's almost impossible to experience its sheer size just by standing on the rim. Helicopter tours of the Canyon give guests a bird’s-eye perspective of the vast formation. Tours range from landing tours that descend into the mile-deep Canyon to short fly-over experiences that help guests appreciate the Canyon's immensity. Some tours depart from Las Vegas (or other Southwestern cities) and others from the Canyon airport, and guests will see different parts of the Canyon depending on which tour they take.
