Delve Into History with a Maverick Helicopter Grand Canyon Tour

A Maverick Helicopter Grand Canyon Tour to the South Rim offers much more than breathtaking scenery and up close views of this popular natural wonder. Landmark structures in Grand Canyon Village offer a glimpse into the past back to the early 1900s when tourists first started flocking to the canyon to experience its splendor firsthand.

The origins of the village reach back to 1901 when the Santa Fe Railroad completed its expansion from Williams, Arizona to the South Rim. Today, the village is a designated National Historic Landmark District with many of the original building still in use.

The oldest structure is a cabin that dates back to the 1890s. William Owen "Buckey" O’Neill, who played a major role in establishing the Grand Canyon Railroad, was also a writer, judge, Arizona politician and miner who built the cabin to be close to a nearby copper deposit. The cabin is part of the Bright Angel lodge complex and now operates as a guesthouse for tourists.

Mary Colter was an architect who was born in Pennsylvania. She designed several structures in the village and surrounding areas, including Hopi House, Lookout Studio and the Desert View Watchtower, one of her most famous designs erected in 1932. The Watchtower is located more than 7,000 feet above sea level approximately 27 miles from the village. Its design is based on the Anasazi watchtowers built by the area's original inhabitants. Visitors enjoy unobstructed views of the Colorado River and the canyon floor. Hopi House draws its inspiration from buildings in Old Oraibi, a Hopi settlement in the eastern region of Arizona, and was once inhabited by Hopi Indians who offered their arts and crafts for sale to Grand Canyon tourists.

What our Guests say about the Vegas Views

This helicopter adventure was so much fun and informative. Absolutely loved it.

Tony B. , Canada

Highly recommend!!!!

This was the first time I was ever on a helicopter. I was a bit nervous. The second we met Jared, I felt much better. He small talked w all of us and I instantly forgot about how nervous I was! He explained things, was funny, and really focused on making it a great experience for my kids.

Hope , Las Vegas

It was my first time on a helicopter and my boyfriend's second time. I was scared at first, but after seeing how many people were there and how many pilots were doing these tours I felt very comfortable. I wish we could have gone through the strip to see the lights on both sides, but it was a cool experience.

Great experience! I think it is a must for everyone!

Brenda , Little Rock, CA

I've recommended to family and friends-this is a must activity when they come to Vegas. The ride and view were pretty awesome!

Gilbert Moore , Las Vegas

I would highly recommend this tour to everyone, the views were spectacular! Locals and visitors alike, because this is an experience you can't get anywhere else.

Sarah P , Las Vegas

Literally the best experience I've had and I thank Maverick for being the company I chose for it!

Eileen C , Las Vegas

This was such a top shelf company! I am highly recommending this experience.

Let’s delve into the wonders of the Grand Canyon and discover why it is the perfect destination for an adventure with Maverick Helicopters.

The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is an awe-inspiring natural wonder located in Arizona, USA. Carved over millions of years by the mighty Colorado River, this geological marvel is a testament to the power and beauty of nature. Stretching for approximately 277 miles and reaching depths of over a mile, the Grand Canyon is one of the most visited national parks in the United States.

The canyon itself is a masterpiece of vibrant colors and unique rock formations. Layers of sedimentary rock reveal a timeline of Earth’s history, spanning billions of years. From the vibrant reds of the Kaibab Limestone to the rich oranges of the Coconino Sandstone, each layer offers a glimpse into the ancient past.

The Grand Canyon is not only a geological wonder but also a sanctuary for a diverse array of plant and animal species. Its unique ecosystem supports a variety of flora and fauna, some of which are endemic to the region. Condors, mule deer, bighorn sheep, and several varieties of cacti are just a few examples of the incredible biodiversity found within the park.

Visiting the Grand Canyon is a truly humbling experience. Whether you explore its rim on foot or embark on a thrilling helicopter tour, the sense of awe and wonder it evokes is indescribable. As you stand on the edge of the canyon, you can’t help but feel a profound connection to the Earth’s history and the forces that shaped this majestic landscape.

Throughout the year, the Grand Canyon offers a range of activities for visitors to enjoy. From hiking along the rim to rafting down the Colorado River, there are endless opportunities for adventure and exploration. However, one of the most exhilarating ways to experience the grandeur of the Grand Canyon is through a helicopter tour with Maverick Helicopters.
