Grand Canyon/Little Colorado River George Drone flight
Drone flight just outside the Grand Canyon near the Little Colorado River George Overlook. I flew down inside the canyon a little over 630 feet. This was just outside the National Park, the canyon is so vast it was breath taking. Enjoy!

Little Colorado River Gorge Navajo Tribal Park, Arizona, United States.
The Little Colorado River Gorge is a tributary to the Colorado River and this location is a worthwhile stopover on AZ-64 while on the way to the Grand Canyon from Cameron, AZ.
Even if you have just been to the Grand Canyon, this is a worthwhile stopover as the cliffs are sheer and the views worth admission.
Although not very clear from the video, there are two stopping places and as I was coming from the Grand Canyon, the first pullover is free while the second nearer to Cameron requires a payment (I mention this in the video) but there are part of the same site several miles apart.
GPS for stopovers:
1. Nearest Cameron: 35°55'8.21N, 111°33'50.60W
2. Nearest to Grand Canyon: 35°56'12.62N, 111°39'4.76W

Little Colorado River Gorge in Arizona
The Little Colorado River is a tributary of the Colorado River in the U.S. state of Arizona.
Runoff typically peaks twice a year, first in the early spring (February–April) from snow melt and highland rain; and in the summer (July–September) from monsoon storms.
The day I was there (late April), it was completely dry and the temperature was around 25 degrees.
Crossing the Colorado River @ Phantom Ranch, AZ in the Bottom of The Grand Canyon
Halfway through our one-day journey to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back. This video was shot just after coming down the Kaibab Trail and passing through Phantom Ranch (105 degrees that day), and crossing one of the suspension bridges across the Colorado towards our way back up, The Bright Angel Trail. The stream we followed up The Bright Angel allowed us to keep our hats and shirts constantly wet and cool; between that and some much needed cloud cover that rolled in just before the intense switchback ascent, that saved our hike back up.

Toroweap Overlook - Grand Canyon National Park
Scenery: ★★★★★
Difficulty: ★★★
According to Wikipeida:
Toroweap Overlook (also known as Tuweep Overlook or Toroweap Point) is a viewpoint within the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, United States. It is located in a remote area on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, 55 miles west of the North Rim Headquarters (but 148 miles by road). The overlook is the only viewpoint in the National Park from where the Colorado River can be seen vertically below. The overlook stands 3,000 feet above the river.

Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA
The Grand Canyon (Hopi: Ongtupqa; Yavapai: Wi:kaʼi:la, Navajo: Tsékooh Hatsoh, Spanish: Gran Cañón) is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the state of Arizona in the United States. It is contained within and managed by Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, the Havasupai people and the Navajo Nation. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters). Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 or 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540

Grand Canyon-Parashant
National Monument
At 3,000 vertical feet (880 m)
above the Colorado River,
the sheer drop from
Toroweap Overlook
offers a dramatic view.
The volcanic cinder cones
and lava flows in this ancestral
home of the Southern Paiute
people make this area unique.
A visit to Tuweep provides an
opportunity for an uncrowded,
rustic, and remote experience.
Access is challenging and
demands skill at
negotiating difficult roadways.
Summer brings monsoonal rain
and lightning. Winter includes
rain, snow, and freezing temperatures.
Be ready for quickly
changing conditions.
Need to Know
There is no water available.
Fires and charcoal grills prohibited.
No hunting or collecting.
No drones, wingsuits, or base jumping.
Preparedness and Directions
Flat tires are most frequent on smooth,
graded sections of roadway hiding
unseen fractured, sharp, limestone.
Travel slowly, 30 mph (50 kph) or less,
to avoid flat tires.
Carry extra water, food,
and warm clothing.
Due to rapidly changing conditions,
be equipped to spend the night.
During monsoon season, visit in
the morning before
the afternoon storms.
Flooding may occur when the
chance of precipitation is as low
as 10 percent. During muddy
winter conditions, travel when
routes are frozen and overnight
temperatures below 20°F (-7°C).
What to Experience
Watch Your Step! For your safety,
as well as the protection of a
delicate ecosystem, be careful where
you step and drive. A 3000-foot (915 m)
drop is one concern.
The less obvious micro-biotic crusts
are another; they hold soil and plant
nutrients in place and can
be easily damaged.
When exploring on foot, please stay
on trails, roads, washes, or rock
surfaces to protect the crusts and
avoid damaging native plants.
Toroweap Overlook: Dramatically
different than other Grand Canyon
viewpoints, Toroweap Overlook peers
out over an abrupt gorge set in a
broad corridor 3,000 feet (915 m)
below the rim.
Eight, million-year-old lava flows
and conical black cinder cones
stud the landscape.
Walk to the edge for a
breath-taking experience.
To the west, view the largest rapid
on nearly 300 miles (485 km)
of the park’s Colorado River.
Listen carefully for the roar of the
river or the faint sounds
from boaters below.
To the east, enjoy dramatic views.
Tuweep Hiking Trails: Two established
hiking trails can be accessed
from Tuweep. Their trailheads are
signed and cairns (piles of rock)
mark their path.
Plan ahead for your hike and
remember that shade is scarce
and water non-existent.
All trails are closed to
pets, bicycles, and vehicles.
Tuckup Trail: The Tuckup Trail
gives hikers a spectacular taste
of Esplanade slick-rock on a
former prospector’s path.
Follow the trail 3 miles (5 km) to
Cove Canyon and experience an
inner-canyon day hike rewarded
with endless views.
Access the Tuckup Trailhead north
of Tuweep Campground
or, if camping, from site 10.
Saddle Horse Loop Trail:
This 45-minute loop offers spectacular
views of the Colorado River,
as well as a colorful walk through
the native plant gardens protected
and nourished by beautiful displays
of micro-biotic crusted soils.
Every inch of crusted toppings signifies
10-years of growth and erosion.
Imagine what the landscape would
look like without these living organisms
doing their job. Access the trail along
the road between Toroweap Overlook
and Tuweep Campground or from
a trailhead near campsite 5.

Hiking the Little Colorado River Gorge
Havasu Creek in the Grand Canyon - Home of the Havasupai
WESTERN RIVER EXPEDITIONS
Day five [of Western's Grand Canyon 6 day expedition] you’re going to stop at Havasu. And even day three, day four, you know, some of those earlier days, they’re almost setting you up to stop at Havasu. It’s the highlight of the trip for most people.
Havasu consists of waterfalls and pools, and waterfalls and pools, and waterfalls and pools for miles and miles and miles. It’s a great place to, sort of, maybe do your own thing and leave the group for a while, and go find a - your own private nook for swimming, or sunbathing, or, or just hanging out.
Havasu is a gorgeous canyon. Blue green water, uh, flowing on down over big boulders, made white by the minerals in the water. That’s Havasu.
The water does something you wouldn’t expect when you’re in the desert. It’s beautiful.
I was in this canyon as a seven year old, with my family. As a seven year old, you remember the, the hugeness of the uh, the size of those rapids. You also remember these magical places, and the blue water of Havasu Canyon.
Earlier today we stopped at Havasu. Got to hike up the, the canyon a little bit, and my wife Terry was bold enough to jump into the water.
My favorite thing was Havasupai. The water was so blue. It was warm, and it rushed over the rock. It’s just really spectacular. Everything - the serenity - it was just gorgeous.
I’d always heard about Havasupai, and had never been there. Most of the people that I know that have been there, have come down from the top, so they - they’re at a different, um, spot than we were at. But it was so beautiful. If, if you told someone that the color of the water was the color it really is, they would never believe you. And when they look at the photos, they’re going to think they were photoshopped. And it was just refreshing to get in and swim and hike.
That blue water is something that is just unbelievable to me. It’s the color I’ve never seen in nature anywhere else.
Havasu, and so much of the other offerings of the canyon, has really helped me to appreciate nature, and to really respect what grandeur and what amazing experiences lie beyond the… the four walls of work.
We took dozens of pictures, and they'll never do it justice.
The cameras can take pictures, but it’s difficult to capture the grandeur of where you are. Yeah, this has been an absolutely fantastic, uh, adventure. To witness all the scenery, and the magnificence of it, it’s overwhelming. Have I found peace down here? Sure. It’s just been nice to look at the rocks and listen to the river as we head on back. It’s been a great experience.
You can see the Grand Canyon from a lookout point on the north and south rims, but until you’ve floated down the center of it, you really haven’t seen the Grand Canyon. And I don't know of a better way to see this, this creation than floating through the middle of it.
