Aerial views of the Grand Canyon’s East Rim, Painted Desert, Zuni Corridor, and Imperial Point; Grand Canyon’s highest spire Additional flight time over the North Rim, Kaibab National Forest, and Kaibab Plateau
On October 3, 1927 a Stinson Detroiter took off from a small rural airport near the Grand Canyon. Grand Discovery Tour and indeed grand canyon airplane tours themselves were invented by Grand Canyon Airlines on that day. Since then GCA has flown over a million passengers on the Grand Discovery tour and shown them the famous and beautiful parts of the Grand Canyon. This tour is perfect for those wanting to see the vastness of the canyon without draining their pocket book. Hourly departures from the Grand Canyon National Park Airport head for the eastern part of Grand Canyon, cross over the canyon at Zuni Point Pass, placing both the Painted Desert and the Navajo Indian Reservation on display just to the east along the Colorado River. The tour then changes course to fly over the north rim showing guests the Kaibab Plateau and Kaibab National Forest.
The price includes a $10 Fuel Surcharge Fee
Why not combine your visit to the Discovery Tour with other famous attractions and activities in Grand Canyon such as zooming across the Grand Canyon with Flightlinez or Grayline Las Vegas + IMAX Tickets

DETALLES DEL TOUR
El tour Diamondback Gulch da vida a la zona alta de Arizona con una aventura todo terreno por senderos escarpados y rojos.
Al comenzar, su guía personal señalará algunas de las formaciones de roca roja más emblemáticas de Sedona. También pasará por el pintoresco Boynton Canyon, escenario de la película de John Wayne de 1947, "Angel and the Badman" y el sitio de antiguas ruinas ocultas. La montaña Mingus y las Black Hills aparecen en la distancia, vigilando el pacífico Valle Verde.
Llegados Bosque Nacional Coconino, el tour se dirigirá por el remoto sendero Greasy Spoon. Una sección de la ruta original del vagón entre Sedona y Prescott, esta senda de un siglo de antigüedad se remonta a una era antes de que Arizona fuera un estado. Capture destellos de un colorido pasado cuando los acantilados, cañones y bosques eran salvajes, un territorio inexplorado y 50,000 vacas de Texas que deambulaban por la tierra.
Continúe por Sidewinder Trail, donde el terreno rocoso cae en Diamondback Gulch, un profundo barranco que recorre la tierra. Agárrese mientras su guía navega hábilmente por el empinado descenso hacia el abismo antes de volver a salir. El ardiente sendero de roca roja contrasta con el verde fresco del paisaje nativo y el brillante cielo azul.
Por último, un viaje fácil desde el bosque de regreso a Sedona le dará suficiente tiempo para recuperar el aliento, mantener los pies firmes y planear su próxima aventura todo terreno con Pink® Jeep® Tours.
