Valentine's Day will soon be here, so it's time to come up with a fantastic way to celebrate the occasion with your sweetheart. A helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon would be an awesome choice. What a fun experience you can share, but you'll have to book your flight as soon as you can. Helicopter Tours From Vegas All the Grand Canyon helicopters that depart from Vegas go to the West Rim. This will take about 45 minutes in the air. These tours are available as air-only options, or landing tours where you can add on other fun adventures. The Hoover Dam and Lake Mead are in the flight path from Vegas to the West Rim, so you get a fabulous bird's eye view of these famous landmarks too. The air-only tour is a great option if you don't have all day to spend at the canyon. It's also less expensive, so it is easy on your wallet. However, if you can, you should try a landing tour because they include a lot more activities. They are very popular and highly recommended. A perfect landing tour for Valentine's Day is the one that includes a champagne picnic on the bottom of the canyon. That tour can also be upgraded to include a relaxing and scenic boat ride down the Colorado River. You'll find many tour packages available, and you can't make a wrong choice, since they are all amazing to experience. Deluxe Tour Upgrade The deluxe flight package makes Valentine's Day even more romantic. This includes free hotel pick up in a luxurious limousine that will include a flight over The Strip when you head back from the Canyon. Another perk is the EcoStar 130 chopper these flights utilize. These are superior sightseeing aircraft. They feature 180 degree windshields, stadium seating with large, bucket seats and an aerodynamic design that will ensure a smoother flight. Tours Of The South Rim The helicopter tours of the South Rim are 30 or 50 minutes long. The short tour is beautiful, but you may want to upgrade to the longer tour for Valentine's Day. So book the longer tour if possible. This will let you see 75% of the park, including the Dragoon Corridor. That's the dramatic portion of the park where the canyon is deepest and widest. You'll see many amazing sights and romantic scenery on this tour. Another idea is to take the shorter 30-minute air tour and combine it with a Jeep excursion. When you complete your flight, you take a three-hour Jeep ride through the park. This is one of the best tours you will find, as it gives views from the ground and the air. It's a great way to treat your sweetheart on Valentine's Day. Dress For The Weather It is important to remember that February is one of the coldest months at the Grand Canyon. Check the weather for the rim you intend to visit, so you can dress to stay warm. The West Rim will be similar to Vegas, but the South Rim is 7,000 feet and may have snow. So if you start out in Phoenix or Sedona and head over to the South Rim, be sure to dress warmly. Conclusion Remember, Valentine's Day is Saturday, February 14, so you'll have a weekend to celebrate with a tour of the Grand Canyon. An air tour of one of the most beautiful places on earth is a romantic way to celebrate the occasion. My recommendation is the Champagne picnic at the base of the West Rim. If you go to the South Rim instead, go for the long air tour, or the short one that is combined with a Jeep excursion.
