According to what I read recently (I believe it was over at AirNav), you

not allowed to just wander over to the rim of the Canyon anymore. IIRC,

think
you have to be part of a tour or have alternate permission. However,
most
who opined did write that the arial views in the vicinity of 1G4 are
awesome.

Where are you flying out of? I'm a club flyer based at Stellar Airpark

Jay, what kind of drugs are you on? The canyon is a national park, and
there are walkways all along the rim, not to mention hundreds of miles
of trails that go down into the canyon. I can't believe you can live
in Chandler and be so mis-informed.

Hey...

No **** Sherlock...I'm completely aware of the facilities present at the
Grand Canyon and that it's a National Park.

But we aren't talking about the entire canyon. Did you even read the
original post? The OP asked about doing a specific thing from a specific
airport:
"Can you land at Grand Canyon West (1G4) and walk to the rim."

From what I dug up, it would seem the answer is NO. If you don't want to
believe me, go read the Goddamn posts yourself:

And if you happen to know differently, why don't you say so instead of
jumping down my throat?
