Beautiful view - Super worth it! We had Patrick who was really good at what he did. We went as high as 9000 feet and it was fun waving at the residents down below. The view of Phoenix during sunset was absolutely gorgeous! Be sure to wear a cap though cause the occasional times they put on some heat can be a little hard on your scalp. Overall I totally recommend!
