Grand Canyon Helicopter Landing - Free Spirit
Fly to the Grand Canyon in a helicopter, and land at the bottom for some ground exploration! The Free Spirit is a breathtaking excursion departing from Henderson, Nevada going to our private landing bluff by the Colorado River within the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. Along the way, marvel at the vivid desert scenery and catch a views of some of Nevada’s iconic landmarks. You’ll see historic Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and Fortification Hill - an extinct volcano.
Free Spirit Highlights:
Grand Canyon West Rim: part of Hualapai Indian tribal territory and lies close to the Nevada-Arizona border. It is distinct for its rich desert landscape and colors. As you fly among its towering walls and layers, note that you are witnessing millions of years of Earth’s history right before you. Your helicopter will land at our exclusive landing site just right above the Colorado River, where you will be treated to champagne and a light snack. Here you can feel completely immersed and in awe of the canyon’s splendor, with time for ground exploration and plenty of photo opportunities.
Hoover Dam: Built during the Great Depression, Hoover Dam holds back the mighty Colorado River along with generating power for over a million residents in Nevada, California, and Arizona. As you fly over this historic landmark, notice the surrounding Black Canyon–a 12 mile stretch of rigid ebony terrain.
Lake Mead: The Lake Mead recreational area is a beloved desert oasis sitting on the Nevada-Arizona border. It serves as Hoover Dam’s reservoir and is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. Spanning over 2,000 square miles and boasting a bright blue contrast to the surrounding Mojave Desert, it has also become a popular local boating and fishing destination for many Las Vegas and Boulder City residents.
The Free Spirit is perfect for those looking to go on a Grand Canyon helicopter tour from Henderson, Nevada (just outside Las Vegas - includes complimentary transportation to and from hotels within five miles of the Strip).

About this video: In this video, Seez Santos and BrandonON go on to hike the Frenchman Mountain trailhead. Frenchman Mountain is located east of Las Vegas in the U.S. state of Nevada. Made up of rocks similar to those found on the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Frenchman Mountain formed when faulting elevated and tilted the rocks followed by erosion, giving it its sharp triangular profile. The mountain provides an example of the Great Unconformity with the tilted Paleozoic Tapeats Sandstone underlain by Paleoproterozoic Vishnu Schist, which is some of the oldest rock on the North American continent, having been created about two billion years ago. The Frenchman Mountain trail is one of the least known about hiking trails in Las Vegas. People often go to Red Rock Canyon or Mt Charleston to see a beautiful hiking trail. Often times it’s in your own backyard! if you're a local you might be wondering what are the best things to do in Las Vegas? I hope this video gives you an answer and opportunity to see the beauty and wonder that is away from the Las Vegas Strip

Southwest Trip 2019
This video is about our family's continued adventures to see the different parts of the USA. This year we explored the Grand Canyon and the Utah's National Parks.
Here is a link to our trip notes:
Restaurants we enjoyed along the way:
Las Vegas -Wynn Hotel Buffet
Page, AZ - Big John's BBQ
Springdale, UT (just South of Zion) - Oscar's Cafe & Porters
Moab, UT - Blu Pig, Moab Diner, & Zak's
Hikes/Activities we enjoyed:
Las Vegas: Machine Guns Vegas
Grand Canyon: Take shuttle to Bright Angel go at least part of the way - get below the rim - then take Trail of Time back to Visitor Center
Desert View Watchtower on the East end of the park.
Watch sunset from any lookout, but then stay and watch the colors change as twilight comes and the stars start to come out. We saw our moonshadows from the almost full moon - so much for seeing the Milky Way...
Page: Antelope Canyon tour, Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon Dam tour
Zion: Angel's Landing - lots of switchbacks, but the view was worth it. We made it to Scout's Landing, but didn't go all the way with the chains!
Riverside Walk that leads to the Narrows. We were hoping to do the Narrows, but it was closed d/t high water levels.
Bryce: Navajo Loop/Queens Garden from Sunset point to Sunrise point - more gradual incline at the end this way. Mossy Cave & Waterfall just outside of the main park, but still part of the National Park.
Scenic Park Drive - Natural Bridge overlook was our favorite stop.
Definitely do the telescopes if you have the opportunity!
Capitol Reef: Gifford House - ice cream and pie. Panorama Point/Gooseneck viewing areas
We actually hiked to Hickman Bridge, not Cassidy Arch.
Goblin Valley State Park - lots of fun climbing on the clay goblins. We would have loved explored the Little Wild Horse Canyon (slot canyons) near there, but there were storms all around us and we afraid of flash flooding.
Canyonlands: Grand View Point & Mesa Arch
Arches: Windows Loop - North, South, Turret Arches, Double Arch - this was our favorite area of the park. We had been advised by some other hikers to see the Delicate Arch from the overlook and save your time to see multiple other arches vs spending all our time on just the 1 arch.
We also enjoyed Landscape Arch, Sand Beach and Broken Arch.

Nature Scenes from the Southern Nevada Desert and Hoover Dam
These are some videos I shot on a recent trip to the Las Vegas area. Believe it or not, I went more for the natural beauty of the surrounding area than for Vegas itself. These videos were taken at Hoover Dam, Valley of Fire State Park and Red Rock Canyon. John Denver, of course, so generously provides the background music.
Comedy on Deck- Breakfast
Our breakfast is amazing. It's not a danish and a juice box. It's real food and real good.
