Photos by Som of a flight over Grand Canyon in a small plane and a helicopter.

The helicopter trip cost as much as a dinner at the French Laundry but it was far easier to get a reservation. The only part that I didn’t like was waking up at 3 in the morning in Las Vagas - it essentially meant not going to bed at all.
