Thanksgiving is coming up, and that means it is time to get a little bit of relaxation, hang out with family, or even go on a sightseeing adventure. This time of the year is the perfect one to visit the Grand Canyon, and with air tours you can visit either the West Rim or the South Rim of the Canyon. Grand Canyon Flights Are Popular So Book Early The cooler autumn weather makes for ideal conditions at the canyon. There will be near perfect visibility with weather that is milder than the rest of the year. Because of the ideal touring conditions and the fact that holidays are busy at the canyon, you'll want to book your tour early. It's a good idea to book seats on your tour at the same time you book your hotel room so you don't forget. If you leave things too late, you will end up paying the highest prices, or even worse, you might miss out on seats. I also recommend that you book your tickets online, and pay using your credit card. This will confirm the transaction and you will know that your seats are reserved. Booking online also ensures that you will get the best price. The West Rim If you'll be staying in Las Vegas and book a helicopter flight, it will fly to the West Rim. The West Rim is a popular part of the canyon because there is a lot to do there. You'll even get to fly over Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam on your way there. Once you get to the canyon you will fly over the sights, and the great thing about the West Rim is that you can land. Landing tours are extra special. You can land at the bottom of the canyon, where you could enjoy a Champagne picnic and a Colorado River tour. If you land at the top instead, you can visit the Skywalk. The Skywalk is a glass platform that suspends you 4000 feet above the canyon floor, and it's a thrilling experience that offers you great views. If you want the ultimate Grand Canyon adventure, book a West Rim tour that includes landings at the top and bottom of the rim. The South Rim The Grand Canyon is massive, so if you'll be in Arizona, you'll be near it too. You'll begin the tour in Tusayan at the South Rim, and you can fly to the North Rim and back. The tour that goes over to the North Rim and back takes about 30 minutes, but you can also opt to take a longer, 50 minute tour that goes to the North Rim as well as the eastern border of the park. The extra 20 minutes of flight time is worth it because when you're done, you'll have seen 3/4 of the entire Grand Canyon National Park. I recommend the longer tour because for a small increase in price, you will get the best South Rim Grand Canyon helicopter flight that is available. Although you can't land inside the canyon at the South Rim, you can take a ground tour on a 4x4 Jeep. This is a great experience that offers you a different perspective, and it will really round out your tour. To Conclude It's easy to see why air tours on Grand Canyon helicopters are some of the most popular in the United States. You'll experience natural history, awesome panoramic views, and lots of options for fun that fit any budget. If you want to fly for Thanksgiving, don't forget to book early, and book online. With a little planning, you can enjoy an exciting trip your family will never forget that includes amazing views of one of American's most beloved natural attractions. Tips from the Author
