Virtual Marble Canyon Tour (The tour seen above)
This is part two of the Grand Canyon Flyover Tour series and it begins as we are flying over Horshshoe bend
towards Marble Canyon. We have just flown from Glen Canyon Dam in the previous tour and are about to
descend to fly low over the Colorado River. We begin the descent as we fly past Lee's Ferry, a well know starting
point for many Colorado River rafting tours that go as far as Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. We will eventually
be following low over the rapids traversed by Colorado River rafting tours.
