This experience is something you must do once in life!!!! Jamie the Helicopter pilot was awesome! Holy thrill seeking rides! I had no idea some of the dips and dives and directions a helicopter could go!!!!!! WHOA it surprised me a few times! The view and experience was unbelievable!!!! Wow what a spectacular site the dam is and if you know any of the history behind it you must check it out from this point of view!!! The van ride up to the helicopter wasn't exactly what I expected...John the kid driving was a WILD driver lol! It made my heart race more than the actual helicopter ride. I can only assume some of it was mandatory given that the hill was pretty steep....but prepare yourself for some adrenaline!!! Make sure you do the Dam tour. I feel like I would have been disappointed if I did the $29 tour.
