Grand Canyon overflight proposal
RomeoMike wrote: Meaning a place within the boundaries of the Grand Canyon National Park from which the canyon itself is visible and where you are unlikely to encounter anyone else, and if you did encounter another person it would be easy to move off away from him and enjoy solitude. I never said it had to be popular in the sense of a lot of people being there. I just said there are places in the Grand Canyon that are beautiful, quiet and without people. Is that plain enough? I can agree with your statement completely. As a Boy scout close on to 20 years ago I hiked the Havasupai trail into the canyon several times. AFAIK you must obtain a permit from the Native Americans who live in th Supai village in the canyon. It's about an 11 mile hike and not exactly an easy one, but if you are looking for quiet, the need to obtain a permit restricts the number of people hiking this particular trail. Now, it has been a long time, but I honestly don't remember any offensive aircraft noise at all, but this may be due to restrictions of overflight of the Supai village (I'm not sure if these exist, just a thought) So I guess the point that I'm trying to make here is that there are places in the canyon to get away from all thre hustle bustle of the visitor's center type areas, you just have to be serious enough about it to do the research and planning necessary. And fortunately (for those looking for that peace and quiet) the average visitor to the canyon is either too restriced on their timetable or just too damn lazy to bother with all that trouble. Get yourself in the air no mattter how you get up there ! Wayne |
