Maverick Helicopters is fortunate to have guest that love to share their thoughts on our tour adventures to the Grand Canyon.
 
“Lori and I would like to thank you for the trip we went on over the weekend from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon and back.  At every moment of the trip, we felt like royalty as we were treated as such by all the employees we encountered at Maverick.  It was a pleasure being greeted…at the hotel, and from that point on, the trip was perfect.  Your drivers, desk staff at the terminal, and pilots have all seen training in more than basic customer service.  They all exceeded our expectations and provided us with the trip of a lifetime.  Our helicopter pilot Chris was professional and friendly and really made the ride memorable.  We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Maveick to anyone…What a first class outfit!”

-  Jeff Greteman, President of Windstar Lines, Inc.

As we arrive in Las Vegas during the holiday season, we knew we would find just about everything one could imagine to see and do. And to our surprise - we discover slopes only 45 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip.

Mount Charleston is located in the Spring Mountain Range and is part of the Toiyabe National Forest. It is the most topographically prominent peak in Nevada and one of the top 10 most prominent peaks in the contiguous United States. This mountain range stretches for 55 miles with varying elevations from 3000 ft. to just under 12000.ft.

Mount Charleston is also a quaint little village with a school, library, fire station and picturesque homes.

When you need a break from the slots head to the Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort which is the only ski resort in southern Nevada. The resort sits at a base elevation of 8500 ft.It averages about 120 inches of snowfall, but when Mother Nature does not cooperate the resort has snow making for three quarters of the terrain. Skiers can enjoy two double chairs, one triple chair, and one surface lift which can access their 11 trails. From beginners to the advanced skier it's fun for all!

Feeling a bit of a chill, the Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort also has a cozy base lodge cafe. By the way, if your holiday visit to the fabulous Las Vegas didn't include packing your ski attire, not to fear, the resort rents both equipment and clothing.

So when you're ready to escape the hustle and bustle of the Strip, enjoy one of Las Vegas' best kept secrets...Mt. Charleston and experience it's own unique charm!

Wedding options in Las Vegas are no longer limited to quick trips to a Strip chapel or a drive through wedding ceremony. This amazing city offers Christmas wedding options like no other.

One option could be saying your "I Do's" in one of the many casinos with their eye popping holiday decorations from snow covered boughs to enormous trees filled with ornaments that seem to reach the sky.

What about a quiet ceremony in a natural outdoor setting performed on Mt. Charleston( known for it's unusual Eco-system and snow) or inside the beautiful Resort at Mt Charleston.

Thinking about a historic landmark for this special event in your life, why not consider the oldest Las Vegas wedding chapel,  The Little Church of the West, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

What a great time to plan a Grand Canyon South Rim tour since the least crowded times to visit are between November and February. Just remember at 7,000 feet winter weather can be upon you very quickly! The South Rim visitor services and facilities are open 365 days a year. There you will find a large bookstore and restrooms. Since you are unable to drive there you can ride a free shuttle or walk just a short distance from Mather Point
 
Yavapai Observation Station offers amazing panoramic views of the Grand Canyon and is also open all year. A helpful hint - the best time of the day for photographing the canyon is early or late in the day. If you plan on viewing that unbelievable sunset you should be at the rim at least one hour before.

There are so many options for viewing the magnificence, the drama, and the awesome beauty of the Grand Canyon. By far the best way is by taking a Grand Canyon Helicopter Flight and the best option is with Maverick Helicopter Tours. You will have an adventure of a lifetime because Maverick takes you further and deeper into the canyon than any other tour company.


If you are traveling by car there are also many overlooks you can drive to. The most popular is the Desert View Drive which follows the rim for 26 miles. Interestingly the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is sometimes referred to as a spectator park because many visitors linger only long enough to take pictures before continuing on the journey. So if you journey is by car here are a few appropriate driving distances to the that may help you manage your time. Miles to the South Rim -
