Pre-takeoff checklist
I put together a video of a trip I took with my gf in our Grumman Tiger a couple weeks ago to Arizona and Monument Valley. It's got it all...rock n roll, Navajo and the Grand Canyon. What else do you need?
Nicely done! Beautiful scenery and great music. Of course, being an airplane nerd, my favorite shot was of the panel and instruments.
+1. I especially liked the panic button.
Ha...thank you so much for the aerial pic of the bridge! I saw many "false bridges" when passing by..it's good to see the real deal.Loved our big trip out west last fall. Winslow, Page, GC and Monument were awesome. Sedona was awesome too but it looks like WX might have kept you from going there? I had to laugh about the bridge, I kept thinking, no, that's not it...so here you go:

I'd have to say Monument Valley was one of the most amazing sights, we flew around in the Valley for an hour before landing. I want to go back love it out there!

We based at Page and came from the northeast out of Roosevelt, UT 74V. If you go that way, go a little further past Vernal (KVEL) and fly the Green River thru Dinosaur National Monument up towards Vermillion Creek.Ha...thank you so much for the aerial pic of the bridge! I saw many "false bridges" when passing by..it's good to see the real deal. Yeah...there's so much so explore in that area. I had been into Sedona numerous times, so that wasn't on my list for that trip. I'd like to go further into Utah and check out that area a little better. Hopefully soon.

You're at KLAF, I'm east of you and did it. Why are you dreaming and not doing? We did our trip last September, an excellent month to fly with cool mornings and lots of sunshine.Nice, thanks for sharing! One more trip I can fanticize about.

and the Grand Canyon
There's a lot of the Grand Canyon to see even within the limitations of the SFRA. Here's a video of an October 2017 flight northbound through the Zuni Point Corridor at 11,500'.Is there much of the Grand Canyon you can see? How restrictive are the Special Flight rules?
