Grand Canyon Skywalk

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a horseshoe-shaped cantilever bridge with a glass walkway at Eagle Point, on the edge of a side canyon in the Grand Canyon West area and outside the boundaries of Grand Canyon National Park. It was commissioned and is owned by the Hualapai tribe; it was unveiled on 20 March 2007 and opened to the general public eight days later. USGS topographic maps give its elevation as 4,770 feet above sea level, against 1,160 feet for the Colorado River at the base of the canyon below; the vertical drop directly beneath the walkway is 500 to 800 feet. The structure stands immediately north of Grand Canyon West Airport, about 75 miles east of Las Vegas in a straight line and nearly 130 miles by road. The nearest city of more than 10,000 people is Kingman, about 50 miles south. Its operators have reported more than one million visitors in a year on several occasions, first in 2015.
