  • We booked a helicopter to land in the #GrandCanyon to see its beauty. What an amazing experience. The flight was about 35 minutes there and we spent about 30 min walking around and 45 min flight back.

    We were at the Grand Canyon back in September and hiked into the canyon 2 miles and back.
    I did it with my wife and two kids.
    My older son fought cancer from 7-11 and now is 13 and I got so emotional on the way out of the canyon walking alongside my oldest son who I had almost lost to now hiking the Grand Canyon.
    This was a great adventure. My recommendation to anyone is you never know when life can drastically change so don’t wait and go do. Doesn’t matter what it is just do it.

      Wow! Thank you for sharing your story with us- how amazing that your son was able to hike that canyon with you - peak life experience for sure. Something you will treasure till you die. Thanks for following along and encouragement for others!

    Years ago I and my parents visited my aunt, uncle, and 6 yo cousin in Phoenix. We scheduled a trip to the Grand Canyon. When my cousin asked his father what it was, my uncle wryly said, “just a hole in the ground.” So when I asked my cousin what he wa going to do when he got to the canyon, he said, “Stick my foot in it!”
    It’s a marvelous sight at 30,000 feet too.

    Amazing trip - seeing the Grand Canyon by helicopter is on my bucket list. We've watched the sunset from the Grand Canyon Nat'l Park (not far from the hotel) - it was amazing! Will have to get back to see it from the air some day! It's also on my bucket list to go on a guided river tour by raft (where you spend the night at least twice on your way down), but it sounds like I'd better put myself on the waiting list now! Good times - thanks for sharing your visit with us! Safe travels!

    10 year waiting list for kayaking the canyon 😳, lol, well it just may move up faster as people change their desires and contact info, (forgetting who they gave it too). Cheers 🍻
