I thoroughly enjoyed my day at the Canyon. If I had to choose a tour highlight, it would be the helicopter ride. This was my first helicopter ride and I must admit to being fearful of this adventure, however once I had taken the trip down into the canyon, I was hooked. The canyon is breathtakingly beautiful and I know that I only saw a small portion. One day I will return and take a more extensive helicopter tour. The boat ride on the Colorado River was pleasant and our lovely guide, Heather, sang for us, expressing her love for this land.
More time at the canyon would have been wonderful, because I was not able to get to all the sites scheduled for this tour. I know that more time is not possible when travelling by bus. The bus trip was excellent too. Our driver, Mike, has an entertaining personality and he did a great job familiarizing us with the communities we travelled through. A great introductory tour to the Grand Canyon.
