* Juts out about 70 feet into the canyon, 4000 ft above the Colorado River

*Will accommodate 120 people comfortably (How comfortable would YOU be?)

* Built with more than a million pounds of steel beams and
includes dampeners that minimize the structure's vibration

* Designed to hold 72 millions pounds, withstand an 8.0 magnitude
earthquake 50 miles away, and withstand winds in excess of 100 mph

* Has a glass bottom and sides...four inches thick

we call that "elvis dancing" when someone with shaking legs climbs on rocks.

Looks alike Realistic ?

If I'm standing on end of point.. I might end up hold the handle and making sure I'm not FALL...
*shakes my legs* oh please this picture... damn looks relatisc.. Hopefully isn't REAL!
:lol:
 
I would not mind giving it a try but at the same time, I would probably have alot of thousands of thoughts that are swarming around in my mind and facing the fear to walk on the Grand Canyon Skywalk. It seems cool to do it but I don't know if I would have the guts to do it, lol
 
The canyon wall is huge! It made those tallest skyscrapers look puny in the picture!

I agree with you. Nature is best left alone!

Nature will be left alone if people are made to appreciate it the way it is and the skywalk is exactly the tool they need use.

I would go on it myself!

today's grand crayon is not same as it used to be when my trip was in there in 1976 because there are too much commericals and the animals have no place to hide.

.
 
I have a fear of heights....I know I will never get on that skywalk! LOL
 
I have to agree it looks cool nature should be left alone tho i wonder how much damage to the envoroment their will be by the end of constrution.

but if i ever get a chance to go to the grnd canyon i will try it but i would rather just climb up the side of the canyon because it would just be more fun.
 
Why would they want to destroy most beautiful place in the world?

We have plenty of ocean, they can build skywalk over there, Grand Canyon is only small piece of place in this world. Leave it alone.

Agreed.
 
Of course, I would leave the nature alone the way it is.

Suppose, parents get into a bad argument about getting a divorce. You know what are you thinking about that bridge. Isn't that scary.
