Las Vegas based Scenic Airlines, offers visitors the perfect escape from sweltering summer temperatures - a day trip the Grand Canyon National Park. Located just 70 minutes east of Las Vegas by airplane, lies the Grand Canyon National Park where temperatures can be as much as 50 degrees cooler during the peak summer travel season. Scenic Airlines combines spectacular aerial tours of the Grand Canyon with ground tours and overnight programs inside the park. Tours depart hourly 365 days a year, and vary in length from 3 hours to 3 days.

A few things to consider when booking your Grand Canyon tour: � Book your tours early. Scenic Airlines and other tour operators are experiencing record demand this summer making it harder to get last minute bookings. � Take the early morning flights if you can get one. The air is relatively cooler providing smoother aerial tours while the sunrise presents spectacular colors. � Take a guided tour instead of driving from Las Vegas. Not only is the drive at least 5 hours one-way, finding a parking space inside the park during peak season is practically impossible. Guided tours eliminate all that hassle. � Take advantage of the large variety of new �multi craft� tour programs. Scenic Airlines offers several programs that include airplane, helicopter, bus, boat and 4-wheel drive touring components. These programs add tremendous value to the overall touring experience while keeping costs low.

Make a point on your next trip to the glimmering jewel of the desert, to take a drive off the beaten path or a tour to one of the Seven Wonders of the World and see why Las Vegas attracts visitors from all walks of life. Not only will you enjoy the great diversity and landscape that surround Las Vegas, you will find a climate that invigorates and inspires you.
