Helicopter Tour is a Must!! - This was an amazing experience!!! We loved every minute of it. This company and their entire staff were all extremely professional, friendly and put our safety as their top priority. My husband and I absolutely loved every minute! Wish it was longer, but only because we loved it so much!! We got to see EVERYTHING from the sky (all the major rock formations); which for me was a huge blessing, bc otherwise it would not have been possible due to my back injury and being disabled from it. The price was perfect, and the pilot was very good & very knowledgeable. LOVED IT!!!
