Imagine this; you’re standing on a platform made of glass. The rim of the Grand Canyon is 70 feet behind you. The other side of it is 3 miles in front of you. If you dare, look down and you’ll see 2,000 feet of air between you and the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Sounds like something right out of Criss Angel’s magic act doesn’t it? Well, it’s not, in fact it’s the newest sensation to hit the Grand Canyon and it has people from all over the world flocking to walk the glass plank. And now you too can be a part of this glass-bottomed experience with the Grand Canyon West Rim & Skywalk Tour by Airbridge.

Located at Grand Canyon West on the Hualapai Indian reservation, the Skywalk consists of a U-shaped cantilevered glass bridge jutting out 70 feet past the rim of the Grand Canyon. The daredevil in you will appreciate the stunning views you just simply won’t get from standing on the edge of the Canyon, but the worry-wart in you will wonder if the structure can hold you and your fellow tour mates! Not to worry, the structure is sturdy enough to hold the weight of a dozen fully loaded 747’s, and strong enough to withstand winds up to 100 miles per hour.

But before you get excited and worried about the Skywalk, the Grand Canyon West Rim & Skywalk Motorcoach Tour will take you to some of the most popular tourist destinations in the West, including the Hoover Dam!

Situated about 30-35 miles East of Las Vegas, Hoover Dam is one of the most fascinating man-made marvels in the world. Called the “Greatest Dam Ever Built” the Hoover Dam is a National Landmark that represents the thousands of men and women and their families who came to a harsh and barren land and in less than five years built a structure which has forever changed the West. And now you can experience its magnitude and history as you snap photos and walk around the edge before your trip to the Canyon.

Upon arriving at the Canyon you will be greeted by your hosts, the Hualapai Indians. The Hualapai Indians will take you back in time with The Wild West Show before you enjoy a delicious Native BBQ buffet or the ‘cowboy cook-out’.

After lunch it’s to the Skywalk you go! Get ready for thrills but beware, this is not for those afraid of heights! The Skywalk will conclude your tour then it’s back to the bright lights of Sin City!

With the Grand Canyon West Rim & Skywalk Tour is a 12-hour tour and includes Danish and juice, lunch and hotel to hotel transfers.
