0:48 operating these types of Tours and I liked them  a lot when I went with them twice. you can check   out other companies too and choose the one you  like best. we booked the canyon Spirit tour   from Maverick which is around 45 minutes long. it  starts from the Grand Canyon National Park airport  

1:06 at the south rim, then takes to the east Rim,  north rim and back. before you take off please pay   close attention to the safety briefing provided by  the pilot. make sure you follow their instructions   starting from the onboarding to the helicopter,  taking your assigned seats, and buckling up the  

1:23 seat belt. if you're not sure about something  please do ask. they are very helpful to make   you you feel most safe and comfortable. please  keep watching till the end of this video as I'll   share a little more information about this tour  from Maverick. the journey starts from the Grand  

1:41 Canyon National Park airport near the South Rim  entrance. then it flies over the Kaibab national   forest, the world's largest Forest of Ponderosa  Pines. the Grand Canyon itself is like a giant   deep cut in the Earth's surface, formed by the  powerful Colorado River over millions of years.  

2:01 it's so massive that it's hard to believe that  something so magnificent exists in real life. one of the most thrilling parts of this  helicopter tour is when the pilot carefully   Maneuvers the helicopter towards the edge of  the canyon. it might seem a bit scary at first,  

2:31 but once you get close you realize just how  vast and magnificent the Grand Canyon truly   is. it's like looking into the world's  largest most inspiring amphitheater.

2:57 throughout this journey the pilot explains many  interesting facts about the Grand Canyon. he's   very knowledgeable and always ready to answer  your questions. you can clearly communicate with   your pilot or co- Riders, using the headset,  cancelling the noise from the helicopter. the  

3:16 Grand Canyon stretches for miles and miles  across the landscape. it's so huge that it   almost looks like a giant rip or crack on the  Earth's surface made up of different shades   of brown red and orange. you can also spot some  Greenery along the sides like trees and shrubs.  

3:35 looking down into the canyon you'll notice  deep Cliffs and steep walls. The Cliffs are   like enormous steps carved out of the rock over  millions and millions of years. these Cliffs are   so tall some of them even reach up to a mile  high. can you imagine that? it's like giant  

3:54 walls that guard the Canyon. from high above you  can see the sparkling Colorado River winding its   way through the canyon, creating beautiful  curves as it flows. you can even see the   Confluence of little Colorado and Colorado  River. As you move along, the colors of the   rock formations change too from Rich Reds  and oranges to deep purples and Cool Blues.

4:33 now As we soar over the canyon you might  notice something interesting happening.   the deeper we go into the canyon the more the  rock layers change color. the rocks at the top   are lighter in color like cream or tan and  as we go downwards they become darker like   shades of red and orange. these different  Rock layers tell the story of the Earth's  

4:55 history and how the Canyon was formed through  time. the journey takes you through the Dragon   Corridor the widest and deepest portion  of the Grand Canyon and gradually moves   towards the northern Rim. during winter the  north rim is usually covered with snow. this   gives a unique contrast to the landscape moving  away from the Red Land into the white paradise.

5:33 as we fly towards north, you can see  the magnificent white snow covering   the whole north rim of the Grand  Canyon. below us it looks like a   giant fluffy blanket that's been  gently laid across the landscape.

6:00 as we fly above you'll see that the snow creates  a magical scene transforming everything into a   winter Paradise. the trees are coated in a layer  of shimmering white and you'll spot the shadows   they cast on the snowy ground. it looks like  a painting just like those Winter Wonderland  

6:17 scenes you've seen in movies or books. the snow  has filled in the crevices and walls of the canyon   creating this incredible contrast between the  white snow and the rocks. the light reflects off   the snow making it sparkle and shimmer, almost  like little diamonds scattered everywhere. from  

6:36 up high you'll get an incredible bird's eye  view of the vastness and depth of the canyon.   it stretches out for miles and miles and it's  like looking into another world. you may feel   like a tiny ant compared to the size of this  natural wonder. One exciting thing about this  

6:52 helicopter ride is that we can fly close to the  edge of the canyon giving us an up-close look   at the fascinating shapes and formations. you'll  see how the snow has piled up on the ledges and   cliffs creating these amazing icy sculptures  it's like a giant natural art at display.

7:12 keep looking out the window because  you might even spot some wildlife   down below. the animals that call the  Grand Canyon home are adapted to the   snowy winter. so you might see some  deer or maybe even an eagle soaring   through the sky. it's like they have their  own winter playground here in the canyon.

7:35 now as I mentioned earlier I'm going to give  you a little bit of details about the tour we   took from Maverick. Maverick helicopters operate  different types of tours from different places in   the United States. this particular tour of Grand  Canyon starts from the south rim. remember they  

7:53 also have tours for the west rim starting from  Las Vegas. make sure which one you want to do.   there are two popular tours from the south rim.  the first one, which is called the Canyon Dancer,   is approximately 25 minutes long. it flies over  the Colorado River towards the north rim through  

8:13 the dragon Corridor and back. at the time  of making this video, it's priced at $319   per person. the second one, which we booked both  times, is of 45 minutes duration. it is called   the canyon spirit. this journey starts from the  south rim goes towards the east rim and then goes  

8:34 towards the north rim and back. it's currently  priced at $349 per person. the starting point   of the tour is from the Grand Canyon National  Park airport. it is 7 mile south of the South   entrance station and 22 Mile north of the Grand  Canyon Junction. they have hourly time slots for  

8:54 each tour which you need to select at the time  of booking. the best time is during the mid day   when the sunlight creates beautiful contrast  on the giant colorful walls of the canyon,   provided the weather is clear. you also have  to mention the weight of each passenger in   your group. they need this information to  determine the seating orientation in the  

9:15 helicopter to distribute the weight uniformly.  they have a shuttle service from nearby hotels,   or you can opt for driving to their center.  they have free onsite parking. you have to   check in 30 minutes prior to your scheduled  departure. one of their team members will call  

9:32 you to confirm your flight. after reaching their  office, please check in at the front desk. they   will introduce you to the designated pilot and  guide you towards the helipad. on the helipad,   before riding on the helicopter, they'll explain  very important safety instructions. please listen  

9:50 to them carefully. also they will take some  pictures which you can buy after the flight   along with different other merchandise and tour  videos. then they will instruct each passenger   to take their designated seat, which is assigned  based on the person's weight, to keep the balance.  

10:07 after all the passengers are seated and buckled  up you are ready to go for this amazing journey. the Grand Canyon is an incredible and unique  place. it's a testament to the power of nature   and the beauty that Mother Earth can create  over time. the best part is that you get to  

10:34 experience all of this from the comfiest and  safest seat in the sky inside the helicopter.   you don't need to worry about hiking or climbing  up steep trails but instead you can sit back,   relax and take in the breathtaking views  from a unique perspective. overall going   on this helicopter tour over the Grand  Canyon is an amazing and unforgettable  

10:56 experience. it's like being in a dream where  everything around you is beautiful and Larger   than Life. so if you ever have the chance I  highly recommend taking a helicopter tour and   witnessing the incredible beauty of the Grand  Canyon for yourself and your loved ones. let
