One mile to The River - straight down



LATimes

An engineering marvel or a colossal eyesore, depending on who is describing it, the horseshoe-shaped glass walkway will jut out 70 feet beyond the canyon's edge on the Hualapai Indian Reservation just west of Grand Canyon Village. Buttressed by 1 million pounds of steel and supporting 90 tons of tempered glass, the see-through deck will give visitors a breathtaking view of the canyon.


I get a vision of a really wide-eyed coyote with his ears stickin' straight up, and the words "Acme Sky Walk".

I'll wait for ya here in the gift shop, thank you.
