The long, pendulous ears on Cocker Spaniels are prone to ear infections if they are not cleaned on at least a weekly basis. Some Cocker Spaniels may need their ears cleaned 2-3 times per week. While playing with or brushing your Cocker Spaniel, lift the ear flap and sniff the ear. If it smells clean, it is healthy.
More importantly, though, Grand Canyon helicopters (West Rim AND South Rim) have a weight surcharge if a passenger weighs more than a specified limit. The weight limit is set by the tour operator, but it's usually either 275 or 300 pounds. So, as a general rule, passengers who weigh more than that will need to pay a weight surcharge before they're allowed to board their chopper. The amount of the surcharge is set by the tour company that's operating the flight.
Helicopter tours are great for individuals, couples and families. Some helicopters seat around seven people plus the pilot, so a medium-sized family could have a memorable vacation experience together. If traveling solo, a helicopter tour is a great way to meet new people who arenât afraid of heightsâ¦or adventure! If you are more than thirty-five weeks pregnant, you should not take a helicopter tour. Individuals with cardiovascular or heart issues also should not embark on this kind of high-altitude entertainment.
