One More Reason for John to Visit Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon will soon have a suspended glass-bottom walkway hanging 70 feet over the canyon edge, with a vertical drop of 4000 feet.
The Hualapai Tribe began rolling its million-pound Skywalk over the edge of the Grand Canyon on Tuesday and plans to finish the job today.
When complete, the glass-bottom walkway will jut 70 feet beyond the Canyon's West Rim. Tourists who pay $74.95, strap booties over their shoes and walk across the U-shaped lookout will see the Canyon beneath their feet, an unprecedented view.
A VIP event is set for March 20 and the public grand opening March 28.
