Grand Canyon West Airport - 1G4

All,

Has anyone ever flown in here? I've heard conflicting reports of being
able to just walk over to the rim of the canyon. Does anyone know if
it's possible and/or have suggestions?

Thanks,
Dan

I have been to 40g. They have a car and aircraft museum.
Loaner car also. Nice place.

From the map the rim looks too far to walk to from 1G4.

For an outstanding Grand Canyon tour fly to L41, Marble Canyon and have
lunch at the outstanding old historic place there. Then take off and
fly to Grand Canyon Airport, south rim. Just follow the altitudes on
the chart. You take off at L41 and you are IN the canyon, as you get
into the park you have to fly above it, but believe me it is
SPECTACULAR! There is a VFR corridor across the canyon at Grand Canyon
Airport you can fly, but it's pretty high, I'd just stay on the south
rim and fly to 1G4. Spectacular!

They've made it so you can't fly IN the canyon in the park. You can fly
IN the canyon above the park up around Lake Powell and above Lake
Powell. There are TONS of gorgeous sandstone canyons. Just follow the
Colorado River from above Moab to Las Vegas. It's quite a trip!

A trip to Sedona, Arizona is spectacular also. That place is gorgeous!
Especially in the early morning light, coming in from the north at
sunrise we came over a ridge and were greeted by flaming red sandstone
structures sculpted by God himself....

Doug,

COuldn't agree more. And a detour to Lake Powell would be in order, too.

And if weather and temps permit, go swimming in Lake Powell. It has the
clearest fresh water that I have ever seen.

I remember standing in water up to my neck, looking down and counting my toes.

Give or take a few. I have swam in tributaries of the Amazon, with piranhas,
too. g
