Grand Canyon Skywalk, Arizona, United States.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a horseshoe-shaped cantilever bridge with a glass walkway at Eagle Point in Arizona near the Colorado River, on the edge of a side canyon in the Grand Canyon West area of the main canyon. It opened as a tourist attraction in 2007, located outside the boundaries of the Grand Canyon National Park.


The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a must do when visiting the park but does require a bit of planning due to its proximity far away from the Grand Canyon Village. Fit for all ages and fitness levels, the Skywalk is a 10-foot wide U-shaped bridge that extends 70 feet over the canyon rim. With a glass walkway, you can see 4,000 feet straight down to the canyon floor.

Right beside the Skywalk is the Sky View restaurant, which offers tremendous views of the canyon – plus this is a perfect place to watch for those who are scared of heights. We recommend arriving at the Skywalk right before it opens at 11:00AM to beat the crowds, then stop by the restaurant for a bite to eat.
