The Grand Canyon Skywalk is an excellent way of overlooking over the steep canyon that sits 4000 feet from the ground below.
Those of you afraid of heights of course may not want to walk out on it but be rest assured if you want to that it is strong enough to hold 71 fully loaded 747 Boeing's. So if you think that it might crack, think again.
The Skywalk is in operation with plans of having a building that will have shops and restaurants within that should look like the picture to the left. At the current moment the skywalk is only in existence. There is lodging at the Hualapai Ranch which is owned and operated by the Hualapai Indians.
