"When you're staring out from the rim, the Canyon looks like a movie set," says my friend Cheska. "It doesn't even look real."
Cheska and her husband, Rick, were'nt quite sure how to tackle the Grand Canyon on their road trip from Tucson to Las Vegas - the avid hikers were expecting their first child three months later. "I won't be as mobile as I'd like," she said to us. "But its their first time, so they'll want to see as much as we can, Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters flew the couple over the gorge's widest and deepest part. Seeing it from above made them appreciate how vast, three-dimensional, and utterly spectacular it is.
That afternoon, Grand Canyon Old West Jeep Tours drove them along the more accessible South Rim, where they spotted a newly built bald eagle's nest. Their guide said it looked like a starter hone, where a mother would lay one of her first eggs. For Cheska, the nest held special resonance: "I wish we could find a home with a view like those eagles had."
