I forget the name of our Pilot, but this was my first ride in a helicopter, and WHAT an experience. I had heard that helicopter rides were a bit bumpy...but this was smooth as silk. They have two helicopter types that i can tell; we got the Boeing model. The one with the exposed rear rotor, and although it didn't look like their "Sport" model, we were told that this model is the only one rated to land on Mt. Everest! It was able to hold SEVEN people in this thing. We had a party of 6 plus the pilot. We did a tour to the middle of the grand canyon, landed in the middle of NO WHERE and had a beautiful champagne lunch overlooking the canyon from a raised plateau. How do you get better than that? Oh wait, you take off and go into Utah for a 2 hour ATV ride in the Mojave desert! Unbelievable trip.
