Default First Visitors Step Onto Canyon Skywalk

Quote:
HUALAPAI INDIAN RESERVATION, Ariz. (AP) - Indian leaders and former astronauts stepped gingerly beyond the Grand Canyon's rim Tuesday, staring through the glass floor and into the 4,000-foot chasm below during the opening ceremony for a new observation deck.

A few members of the Hualapai Indian Tribe, which allowed the Grand Canyon Skywalk to be built, hopped up and down on the horseshoe-shaped structure. At its edge _ 70 feet beyond the rim _ the group peeked over the glass wall.

"I can hear the glass cracking!" Hualapai Chairman Charlie Vaughn said playfully.

The deck is anchored deep into a limestone cliff. As people walk across it, the glass layers creak and the deck wobbles almost imperceptibly. To one side, the Colorado river appears as a slim, pea-green ribbon. To the other is a triangular dip in the canyon's ridge, known as "Eagle Point" because it looks like a bird with outstretched wings.

When the wind blows, only the most daring visitors resist grabbing the steel rail to steady their knees.

theres no way Im going on this thing. . It has a glass floor and only 2 inchs of glass stand between you and instant death there are no supports under it or above it. $28 per person and $31 for parking.

heres some links about the construction of it.

I hate heights, I get vertigo. I went on the London Eye last year, I must admit I was scared but the view was worth it.

I very much think it will be 10x better with the Skywalk as its a much better view!

Be brave! Once in a lifetime thing!
