Board the state-of-the-art aircraft and take to the skies on a magical 45-minute tour through the Grand Canyon. You will fly through the Zuni Corridor – two narrowly-spaced stone walls creating a sort of natural hallway, and then around Imperial Point – a near-perfect stone pillar rising from the canyon wall, and then ascend up over the Kaibab National Forest on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The lush ponderosa pines are a sight to behold thriving amidst the desert landscape. Your aerial tour will show you aspects of both the South Rim and North Rim that far surpass what can be seen from the ground. Grand Canyon Airlines is excited have you on board.
