Grand Canyon Skywalk
The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a horseshoe-shaped cantilever bridge with a glass walkway located near the Colorado River in Eagle Point, Arizona, on the edge of a side canyon in the Grand Canyon West section of the main canyon. The Skywalk is 4,770 feet (1,450 meters) above sea level, according to USGS topographic maps. The Colorado River is 1,160 feet above sea level at the canyon's base (350 m). The vertical drop directly beneath the skywalk ranges from 500 feet (150 meters) to 800 feet (200 meters) (240 m). The attraction surpassed one million visitors in 2015.
The Hualapai Indian tribe commissioned and owns the skywalk, which was unveiled on March 20, 2007, and opened to the general public on March 28, 2007. It's about 120 miles (190 kilometers) east of Las Vegas, NV, and directly north of Grand Canyon West Airport. The skywalk is located just east of Meadview, Arizona. The closest city, Kingman, Arizona, has a population of over 10,000 people.
