Eric and I were able to take a helicopter tour of the grand canyon--thank you Mike!  It was our first time in a helicopter.  Once you are high up in the air, it is not too weird, but it is very strange to hover a few feet of the ground and move around.We landed on this little plateau spot, down in the canyon and had lunch.  It was incredible to be able to see the Grand Canyon from up and the rim height, drop down and have lunch near the river with the opposite view of the canyon, and then minutes later be back at rim height.


We were the last flight in that day.  At the end of lunch, it became overcast very quickly, the pilots rushed us to the helicopter, and we rushed out of there.
