It was a helicopter ride followed by a short bus stint. I knew what to expect as I had seen a few images of this marvel on the Net. Our camera did not do justice to what was visible to the eye The helicopter ride was turbulent and with the Colorado River flowing beneath I just waited for the flight to end. On our return the pilot gave us a better view of the Colorado river and the Grand Canyon.. Stunning would be an under statement watching it all from the sky.

It's a shame that photos don't do justice to some of these spectacular sights

I have even taken a few while on the plane and nothing nuch could be covered. Now I have that panorama feature. May be that would have helped if I had it then.

@allknowing Photos still don't show the 'depth' somehow.

Watching it up from the sky was indeed something I did not expect

The grand canyon certainly is breathtaking. We stayed a night on the south rim and then drove up to Las Vegas.

We were there only for a few hours and got back to Las Vegas to catch our flight the next day to Los Angeles

@allknowing We did a driving trip so we have much more time to linger places. But I am glad you got to see it, it is spectacular.

How wonderful for you! It sounds really exciting. I'm not sure I could do the helicopter. I'm afraid of heights.
