Since its inception in 1986, Grand Canyon Trust has worked to protect the solitude and stunning quiet afforded visitors to Grand Canyon National Park. But over time, a growing number of air tours has eroded the park's serenity and replaced it with the sounds of throbbing helicopter rotors and airplane engines.
Natural quiet in the park has remained elusive. In 1997 the Trust, therefore, filed suit against the Federal Aviation Administration for failing to properly implement the 1987 law.
The Grand Canyon Trust is determined by 2008 to bring back the sense of magic, awe, and natural quiet that early visitors experienced and so eloquently wrote about before the introduction of noisy air tours over the Grand Canyon.
