We woke up early packed our gear and headed to the Grand Canyon's West Rim main entrance. You can see Fernando on his KLR 650 leaving our camping site.
We initially planned to go on the Skywalk, witch is this horse shoe type of bridge that extends above the Grand Canyon. But Jorge, Aradio, and Fernando thought it would be best if we go on a helicopter ride. It was a great idea! We rented a chopper and took a tour of the Grand Canyon. The helicopter then landed on a site next to the Colorado River, down in the Canyon (you can see me next to the helicopter down by the river).
The weather was excellent! Not a cloud in sight. It was about 68 degrees, so it was nice and cool (I'd hate to go to the Canyon in the summer, it must be an oven). There's Jorge in the picture above.
We took this picture with the helicopter and the helicopter pilot. Awesome pilot!
Here's another shot. That's me next to the Colorado river. The views were spectacular!
