Grand Canyon Helicopter Trips Will Give Travelers A Picturesque View Of This Majestic Natural Wonder

The Grand Canyon is a beautiful national park that travelers can view from the sky when taking one the many Grand Canyon helicopter trips

. Passengers can choose to leave out by helicopter from Las Vegas, which will give them an aerial view of the West Rim, or they can travel above the South Rim. A really adventurous traveller would need to arrange for two separate flights, since a visitor can only see one rim a day.

A helicopter trip will give the rider a view of any amazing landscape that is composed of over 1 million acres of land. The Colorado River is responsible for carving out this vast land. The Canyon varies in length and height depending from where a person is located.

The park is home to the endangered California Condor. There are also other wildlife that can found on this land such as birds, otters and foxes, and a lucky traveller may spot a bighorn ewe standing upon a rocky hill while flying overhead. All animals are protected, and the park activities are carefully monitored to ensure that endangered species are kept safe.

This beautiful national park is located in Arizona and borders Nevada and Colorado, and the Colorado River flows through this land. There are other nearby canyons, but the Grand Canyon is the largest. Many US presidents, such as President Theodore Roosevelt, visited the canyon, and eventually it was made into a National Park despite the protests of land speculators and miners who held claims.

The landscape is so diverse that many people will find themselves gazing at the beautiful terrain for hours. A helicopter trip is a great way to view a larger portion of this landscape. An aerial view will allow a person to see the contrasting heights and depths of the strata as well as the contrasting vegetation and wildlife present between the West Rim and the South Rim.

Botanist will enjoy the wide range of plant life that inhabits this wild terrain. There are about a dozen plants that only grow within the boundaries of this great locale. The wide variety of plant species, which are grouped into communities, is due to the difference in terrain that happens as the elevation climbs up to 8,000 feet from the river.

Conservationist will enjoy learning about the wildlife that lives here as well as the many laws that have been pasted to protect these fragile ecosystems. Because the land borders several states that have thriving metropolitan areas, pollution has effected this land. Currently, there are many programs in place to aid in protecting this environment for the plant and animal inhabitants.

Grand Canyon helicopter trips are a great way for travelers to see the many sights in this national park. The park is being actively preserved for present and future visitors. Riders will get a close up look at the many activities that take place daily which include hiking, river rafting and/or mule riding. A view from the sky will give each passenger a memorable journey of this majestic natural wonder.
