One of the most famous places to visit in Arizona is, of course, the Grand Canyon. Vast, spectacular and undeniably majestic, the Grand Canyon is one of the ‘seven wonders of the world’ and simply must be seen to be believed…and even then, it’s hard to wrap your mind around the splendor, glory and enormity of what Mother Nature has carved over the eons.
For those who desire to see the magnificence of Mother Nature in a new and breathtaking way, it’s worth the extra drive to visit the Grand Canyon Skywalk. This unique horseshoe-shaped glass-bottomed cantilever bridge sits an amazing 4,000 feet high above the Colorado River and spans an astonishing 70 feet over the Grand Canyon’s rim. Not for the faint of heart, guests can stroll out over the canyon walls far below for an awe-inspiring view of the Grand Canyon’s soaring cliffs and deep crimson-hued gorges.
Completed in March of 2007, the Skywalk at Grand Canyon West is open 365 days a year. Located at Grand Canyon West, the Skywalk is approximately 250 miles from the Phoenix/Scottsdale/Paradise Valley area and about 375 miles from Tucson/Oro Valley/Marana.
