Perfect for the time-conscious traveler, this spectacular Grand Canyon sightseeing air tour from Maverick Helicopters takes guests on a one-of-a-kind journey through one of the "Seven Natural Wonders of the World."

The journey begins with a flight over Lake Mead and the historic Hoover Dam, an icon of the Western United States completed in 1936. Other highlights on this portion of the tour include Temple Rock, Boulder City and Fortification Hill, an extinct volcano.

As you fly away from Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, you’ll follow the Colorado River into Arizona. You'll rise over the lofty ridge that forms the western gateway to the majestic Grand Canyon. The ridge will drop away as you descend into the massive corridor to explore brilliantly colored side canyons and secluded alcoves. This peaceful stretch of the Colorado River meanders below, sparkling in the desert sun. After this aerial overview of the stunning West Rim of the Grand Canyon, your pilot will turn back toward Las Vegas.
