I think some new flight restrictions were put in place a few years back after one too many flight seeing helicopter flew into the canyon wall. Not sure what the hard deck is now, but I don't think they can fly "into" the canyon.

I flew into the canyon a little over four years ago with Maverick.

Our landing areas were about half way down into the Canyon.

I'm not sure when the rules changed though.

Maverick will fly you into the canyon, but no, you can't get below about 1500' I think. Only way you can do that is if you take the tour that lands you in the Canyon (grand canyon discovery tour from the West rim). I did the Canyon Dream tour. worth every penny.

you can also take the "tribal spirit" tour that takes you to the Sky Walk.
