It has been a little while since my last visit to the Grand Canyon/Hoover Dam even though I live just about an hour away from it and the Hoover Dam. I visit Red Rock Canyon semi regularly but Grand Canyon just isn't as fun for me considering the fewer trails and each trip out to it needs to take a full day for the full effect considering their trails tend to be so much longer. I'm pretty excited to be making another trip out there. This time there will be something new for me to visit and try out. I'm sure some have heard of this but I wanted to share this with you. It's called the Skywalk. It's 4,000 ft in the air, your walking on glass and you can look straight down.

Here is the link to more information on it. There is even a comparison to the world's tallest buildings...

Here is a video of people walking on it...

Here is where you can book all kinds of trips out to the Grand Canyon from the Skywalk to White Water Rafting for those who might be interested...

Enjoy!

they finished it!!! no fvcking way..

I'm going tomorrow (Grand Canyon's only 2hrs for me)

ah damit, it's at West (like 4 hours from me) not the main spot on the South Rim. LOL, maybe not tomorrow. But dayum! that looks fun. I was on the observation deck of the CN Tower w/ the glass floor and absolutely loved it, but this is like 3x as high, omfg.gif

ah damit again, and it's part of a package deal.. you have to pay $80sumthin' and get the horse ride and shuttle bus fees, ....you can't take a freakin camera with you on the skywalk.

I knew they'd find a way to gay this up.
