The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a tourist attraction, commissioned by the Hualapai Indian tribe, unveiled March 20, 2007 and to be opened to the public on March 28, 2007, along the Colorado River on the edge of the Grand Canyon in the U.S. state of Arizona. The Skywalk charges $25 per person in addition to Grand Canyon West entry fees.
The horseshoe-shaped glass walkway is suspended 4,000 feet (1 219 meters) above the canyon, a height that eclipses the world's largest skyscrapers.It protrudes 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of the canyon, and its walls and floor are built from glass 4 inches (10.2 cm) thick. The Skywalk is able to hold 7 tons of weight, allowing for 800 people weighing 175 lbs. (80 kg) each to stand on the bridge; the allowed capacity, though, will be limited to only 120 persons. All visitors will be provided with shoe covers to protect them from slipping and to prevent scratching of the glass floor.
