What to expect from the Grand Canyon Skywalk

See the view from up above.

No matter what angle you view it from, the Grand Canyon is a pretty spectacular sight. Visitors can explore the area on rafting trips along the Colorado River, at scenic overlooks, and from above at the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Here’s what you can expect from this bird’s-eye perspective of the region.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is described as a “breathtaking 10-foot wide, horseshoe-shaped glass bridge.” This glass bridge stretches 70 feet out over the Grand Canyon’s rim. From the Skywalk, visitors can gaze at the canyon floor 4,000 feet beneath them. While this may sound like a nightmare for people who are afraid of heights, many tourists appreciate the remarkable views they can see from the Skywalk.
