You can fly over the Grand Canyon in a memorable helicopter flight, but many tour operators offer flights over the surrounding area, too. For example, some flights cover Monument Valley, east of the Grand Canyon, while some head north to Page and Marble Canyon or south to beautiful Sedona.
Many helicopter flights also originate outside the Grand Canyon area, in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Boulder City, Scottsdale, and Flagstaff. If you can't spend more than a few hours exploring the canyon, booking a Grand Canyon helicopter flight out of Flagstaff, Williams, or other cities can at least give you a bird's eye view of the park.
