Starting from March 28th 2007, tourists to Grand Canyon will be able to admire the breathtaking scenery of the multicolored gorge in a different way; they can now choose to experience "floating" 4000 ft over the valley! This is made possible by the completion of the Grand Canyon Skywalk project. Basically the Skywalk is a U-shaped glass walkway extending off the cliff. The height of the structure over the basin is simply astounding. The diagram follows illustrates why:
Attached is a video that featuring this newly opened attraction:
Tourists should not get too excited yet though, as each visitor is currently charged 75 USD in total to experience such a walk. Perhaps the most ridiculous thing is that cameras are not allowed in the structure!! Simply stupid...but I think I'll still go for it if I ever visit Grand Canyon. The height should make my legs all wobbly!!
