Grand Canyon Overnight Glamping: Helicopter Flight, Skywalk & Rim-Top Luxury
Select participants and date
You lift off from a private air terminal outside Las Vegas and the Strip shrinks into a checkerboard of light and asphalt. Below, the Mojave blinks away: Hoover Dam gleams, Lake Mead stretches like a blue scar, and the Colorado River begins to stitch a ragged seam into the desert. In an hour the helicopter tips toward the rim of Grand Canyon West and the canyon opens—raw, horizontal bands of red and gold folding away into shadow. You land on Hualapai land, step onto a shuttle, and the canyon’s edge becomes your front porch.
