Grand Canyon Papillon Helicopter flight, taken on April 18, 2006, from the South Rim to the North and back across the Dragon Corridor. Pretty cool but something I don’t ever plan on doing again! Yep, this’ll probably be the first and last aerial footage I ever take. Mark loved it loved though. I guess he wasn’t thinking about plunging out of the sky for over a mile to our deaths as much as I was. Also, the later in the afternoon it is the rougher the wind currents through the Canyon tend to be. We were the next to last group that went that day (around 4:30 pm… nice turbulent ride!). Music by Nicholas Gunn.

While driving up to the Grand Canyon through the eastern entrance on a stormy, snowy day – I stopped at the Little Colorado Gorge, which feeds into the Grand Canyon. With thousand-foot vertical drops and a tiny ribbon of the river cutting through far below, it’s a preview of the greater canyon just a couple dozen miles up the road.

It was a nasty day, with gale-force winds shooting up through the canyon, driving frozen rain droplets sideways into my face, and snow falling on the hills just behind me hundreds of feet away. And just as a storm cloud passed by, the sun peeked through, illuminating a complete rainbow (plus most of a double rainbow) inside the gorge itself.

With the rapidly changing weather conditions, the rainbow only lasted a couple of minutes before disappearing behind the clouds again. It was just sheer luck I was there to catch it while I was there — it’s one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ events I will probably never see again. And because no one wants to visit this corner of the world on such a miserable weather day, I had the spectacle all to myself.

It was right at freezing, the wind was howling (enough to make standing near the edge of a thousand-foot precipice a questionable idea), frozen precipitation blowing straight up into my face like a thousand little stings. Taking the short video was actually a little difficult — you can see the rain droplets collecting on the camera lens as the video progresses.

Video taken on December 1, 2007. For several more still photos, visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/matthigh/sets/72157604265740464/

My wife and I went on a West Rim Grand Canyon rapids trip while on vacation in Las Vegas.
This was the ride we took to get back to the bus to take us back to our hotel.
We we ended up at the end of the rapid ride was 30 miles away from any point a truck could get to us, so the only 2 ways to get to the bus was either raft another 40 miles downstream or take a helicopter 30 miles up to the Indian reservation.

I know the video is not action packed but I did manage to get some good views of the Grand Canyon while in flight

When visiting Las Vegas I took a day-trip to Grand Canyon. On a day-trip you never know what to expect weather-wise. This day it was cloudy – very cloudy. So here you are – pictures from Grand Canyon – where you can hardly spot Grand Canyon.
