Grand Canyon Skywalk

Set a staggering 4,000 feet above the Colorado River bed, Arizona’s Grand Canyon Skywalk – a cantilever bridge extending 70 feet out over the stunning canyon at Eagle Point – may not be for the faint-hearted, but it certainly offers some of the most exhilarating views in the area. Owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribe, the skywalk opened to the public in early 2007 and has attracted around 370,000 visitors per year since. Designed by architect Mark Ross Johnson, with capital from late Las Vegas businessman David Jin, the Grand Canyon Skywalk can reportedly hold the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 jets.

The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West, which was finished in March 2007 and has since become the most recognizable cantilever structure in the world, has swiftly established itself as one of the top day trip locations from Kingman, Arizona, and Las Vegas, Nevada. You must boot up and put all of your personal items, such as cell phones, cameras, handbags, backpacks, and water bottles, in a free locker before you may enter Skywalk. Booties are used to protect the glass and shoes are required. Professional photographers are available to snap photos if you want to record the moment. When you leave Skywalk, you can purchase individual photos to be printed or a collection on a USB drive.
