This airplane flight from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon West soars over the Mojave Desert with aerial views that you simply can't replicate from the ground. Get started on a de Havilland Twin Otter touring airplane, which will take you up and away over the spectacular sights of the desert. Soar high above with aerial views of Hoover Dam, and get a look at the high arch of the O'Callaghan-Tillman Memorial Bridge just ahead of the Hoover Dam, a monument to modern engineering. Beyond the dam, the deep blue waters of Lake Mead stretch placidly eastward.

Up ahead is the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, where the red desert drops away in red and orange striped layers toward the winding silver ribbon of the Colorado River. After more than an hour in the air, you'll return to the Boulder City airport.
