The flight path, end to end.
The West Rim is the region of the Grand Canyon that is nearest to Las Vegas. You can reach the West Rim by car after about a 2 hour drive, or there are even bus tour companies in Las Vegas that can transport you. If you'd like to arrive there faster, you can hop aboard a Grand Canyon helicopter tour!
Our helicopter flights can take you from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon in just over an hour. Along the way, you'll see aerial views of Hoover Dam, the Colorado River, and the stunning desert scenery. Your helicopter tour can even land all the way on the very bottom of the canyon floor! In fact, the West Rim is the only part of the canyon were landings on the bottom are possible.
From stony mountain ranges, endless colorful sandstone, and the flowing waters of the Colorado River, you'll discover why this location draws millions of visitors from around the world each year. Beyond the unbelievable landscape, visitors can also spend time at Hualapai Point, the local Native American center. Explore some traditional dwellings, watch tribal performances, and browse handcrafted mementos at the Hualapai Market.
