It is a huge bridge made of glass that juts beyond the edge of the rim, and you can walk out on it and stand 4000 feet above the Canyon floor and marvel at the fantastic view.

The first tour last 30 minutes and flies to the North Rim and then circles back. However, there is a longer tour that is even better. The longer flight covers the same ground as the shorter tour and adds on all the land over to the eastern border. You'll get 50 minutes of air time, and during that time, you'll see around 75 percent of the entire park lands.
