Took a helicopter ride through Papillion Tours at the Grand Canyon airport. Purchased the Imperial tour, which includes both sides of the canyon up to the north rim and back. There are a lot of beautiful views of God's creation. What an amazing trip it was. Definitely worth the money! Took the 8:00 AM flight - best time to go!

Always awe inspiring. Teenage son could not believe how big the canyon is. Put it on your bucket list near the top!

And to think I thought we might skip this. What a shame that would have been!!! You just have to go see it to believe it! Not crowded at all in May. Buses full of people from all over the world visiting. It made me proud of our beautiful America!

What can I say...... Everyone needs to visit the Grand Canyon. If you have a National Park annual pass, don't forget to bring it. I forgot mine from Hawaii and they would have honored it.... :( Try to get there early if possible to avoid parking hassles. Unfortunately, I arrived around 1:00 p.m. and it was slamming. If the front... More

If you want to see God's handiwork first-hand, put the Grand Canyon at the top of your Bucket List! We visited the first weekend in May and commented that we were glad to be there at that time of year... our guess is that it could be a crowded nightmare in mid-summer.

I booked this all day tour thru Papillion.com. We were staying at the Holiday InnSuites 1/2 mile away - easy driving distance from the GC airport. The flight was great - the pilots said the best time to fly over the GC is early am (the tour leaves at 6:30 am). The bagged breakfast was very filling. The shuttle ride... More

There are no words (or even pictures) to describe this place. You really have to see it in person to appreciate its beauty. We hiked down into the canyon which was an amazing experience. If you have the time and endurance, definitely consider doing this. We did not go all the way down since we could not camp overnight. Be... More

Had a great time visiting the Grand Canyon this spring. Hiking the rim trail was a great way to get a hunger on, so plan carefully how to quell that hunger. Bright Angel lodge was a busy, slow food heaven, a place to take in the international flavor of the guests, and after your cocktail arrives, plenty of time to... More

The Grand Canyon is inspiring. My husband didn't appreciate my urging to see the canyon. To capture, experience the sunset and photograph it, you must find the right place to sit in awe and wonder of this magnificent site. As the sunset draws near, people show up and set up camers, careful not to block the view of anyone, in... More

my jaw literally dropped the first time I peered over the edge towards the canyon floor. There are no words to describe the beauty that is the Grand Canyon. It is a must see for everyone.
