In June 2011 I travelled with a friend to the USA, on a roadtrip around California and to Las Vegas. While in Vegas, we took a day tour to the Grand Canyon.
The tour took us by bus to Boulder City Airport where we boarded a small plane to an airport at Grand Canyon West. We caught glimpses of the Hoover Dam and Lake Meade ahead of the Grand view of the Canyon. Already enjoying some great views, the tour then stepped up with a Helicopter taking us into the Canyon and landing on the floor, next to the Colorado River. We took a small walk to the waters edge where we boarded a small boat for a short trip up the river before floating back down to the pontoon. After another great helicopter flight out of the Canyon we were driven to the edge at Quartermasters Point for lunch and a view from the top.
After all the excitement we took the return flight and bus back to our Hotel before enjoying another night on the Strip.
