Sky Walk

Hualapai Indian tribe owns and operates a glass sky-walk over the Grand Canyon. The attraction is located on the south rim at the extreme western end of the canyon.

Above and below, Jim and Ernie on the Skywalk. This cantilevered balcony has a floor of glass. Unfortunately, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE A CAMERA OUT THERE. See Ernie saluting. It costs more than $70 per person to walk the skywalk. They will take your photo for you for $30 for the first shot. It is 1,400 to 3,000 feet straight down, depending on where you stand. It would take you about 11 seconds to hit the bottom.
The architecture is similar to Falling Water.
