9. TAKE A SCENIC FLIGHT OVER GRAND CANYON



Okay, so it's a given that you'll drive to most of the scenic overlooks in a shuttle or your vehicle inside Grand Canyon National Park.

Maybe you plan on hiking, or riding a mule into the Grand Canyon's interior, or standing suspended 4,000 feet above the grand abyss on the Grand Canyon Skywalk, or floating the Colorado River as it carves its way through the Grand Canyon.

That leaves one remaining important vantage to experience while in the Grand Canyon National Park region: An aerial view.

Visitors may take a helicopter tour or an airplane flight. Either option provides visitors with a unique and spectacular vantage of this vast, deep natural wonder.

The most popular scenic flights are the 25- or 50-minute helicopter tours or the 50-minute airplane tours.
