We Took A Helicopter To The Grand Canyon And It Was Insane

Grand Celebration Tour Our First Helicopter Tour What A Way To Go. Mimi and G really enjoyed our time on Grad Celebration Tour. There are many highlights to this trip. Tune in and enjoy the ride. Script Papillon Grand Celebration Tour. This was our first helicopter tour. It was a good One. It really was. Papillon supplies a bus to pick you up at the hotel, and then you go to Boulder Airport and you get on your helicopter there. If you wanna sit in the front row, make sure to tell them when you check in, If they can accommodate your request. It will be a $50 upcharge. You'll have a safety briefing and a lovely belt. That's a life preserver. Now that's a package. Then you take off. And a trick that the pilot told us as we were taking off was if you felt a little bit of motion sickness, look out at the horizon. That will help steady your mind. I Always need my mind steady. Me too. Yes. First you cross the river down. It is an unreal view from the air. Did you know the concrete is still drying in the dam? Next is Lake Mead. This point is where the Colorado River meets Lake Mead. Look at the mud. After 20 minutes of flying, you will swing into the Grand Canyon. As you go through the canyon, the Grand Canyon Skywalk will be on your right. And before you know it, your chopper will start to descend to the landing area where you will eat lunch. Make sure you carry your camera with you to lunch. There are many photo opportunities, Right? I love the flowers and the cactus were in bloom while we were there. The Cool thing about the flowers is they bring out the hummingbirds, And that is a nice shot. Sometimes it's right place, the right time. Exactly. It is. We loved our helicopter tour. So how long does it actually take? It's four a half hours from hotel door to hotel door. What should you bring? Make sure you bring your government-issued id a bottle of water. Cameras and phones are allowed and Encouraged. Winter weather clothing from October to March. Layered clothing is recommended the rest of the year. And sneakers and hiking boots are highly recommended. Open-toe shoes are not allowed. The ground at the picnic site is rough and rocky and uneven. So yeah, you definitely want those open toed shoes as a No. Exactly. You cannot bring selfie sticks or extended camera poles. Suppose when you're filling out your ticket online and it asks you your weight, you may want to get close because as you can tell, I would probably wanna fudge that number and maybe I did. When you get to the airport and you're in line, you're actually standing on a mat that's weighing you. So you kind of want those two numbers to line up just in tip. Yeah. Wanna Raft the Colorado River instead of flying?
