The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a tourist attraction on the edge of the Grand Canyon in the U.S. state of Arizona. Commissioned by the Hualapai Indian tribe, it was opened to the general public on March 28, 2007. The fee to enter the Skywalk is $US25 per person in addition to Grand Canyon West entry fees.
It uses a million pounds of steel and ninety tons of 4-inch thick tempered glass to withstand the weight of up to 800-persons, each weighing 175-pounds.
The horseshoe-shaped glass walkway is suspended 4000 feet (1,200 meters) above the canyon, a height that eclipses the world's largest skyscrapers.
