Grand Canyon:
A Spectacular Natural Wonder
One of the seven wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon attracts more than 5 million visitors every year. Its colorful, steep-sided cliffs rise thousands of feet above the winding Colorado River. The river that, over the past six million years, has formed this magnificent natural phenomenon. The canyon extends 217 miles long, is one mile deep, and has a width that ranges depending on location from four to eighteen miles across.
Skywalk Bridge:
An astonishing glass walkway that juts out seventy feet off the West Rim, the horseshoe-shaped Grand Canyon Skywalk offers visitors a view that will literally take their breath away. The Skywalk suspends those who dare to walk its glass floors high in mid-air and offers a truly dazzling and quite unnerving view from 4,000 ft above the canyon floor. And though frightening, the Skywalk is also amazingly safe; its walls and floors are made of four-inch glass and reinforced by over a million pounds of steel beams.
The structure has been thoroughly tested and proven to support more than 71 million pounds, endure winds in excess of 100 miles per hour, and withstand an earthquake of 8.0 magnitude. The Skywalk's construction was overseen by the Hualapai Indians and opened to the public in early 2007.
