From the description, it sounds like he was hunting for the ground; a visual on anything on the ground. A road, a billboard, the overhead lights along a road, anything.
He had to be several hundred feet off the ground if there was no rotor wash effecting the bottom of the cloud cover, which the witness said was around 150 feet. This chopper was big if it could carry 9 people, so I'm guessing at least 300-400 feet off the deck? But surrounded on all sides by mountains/canyon walls. screw that noise.
