Grand Canyon Spirit Tour

Canyon Spirit is a Grand Canyon helicopter tour that departs from the South Rim, taking you over the beautiful Kaibab National Forest, home to the world's largest stand of Ponderosa pines. Upon reaching the edge, the rim drops away as the magnificent Grand Canyon comes into full view.

Your journey follows the Colorado River from above, enjoying views of the Painted Desert and Desert View Watchtower, designed by legendary architect Mary Jane Colter in the distance. Crisp blue water swirls into dark green where the Little Colorado and Colorado Rivers meet at the confluence. Marvel at bird's-eye views of Point Imperial and Marble Canyon as you fly through the canyon and climb above the North Rim. Appreciate the beauty and mystique of Dragon Corridor, the widest and deepest portion of the Grand Canyon.

This Grand Canyon South Rim tour is the longest flight route offered over Grand Canyon National Park and provides memories to last a lifetime.
