Grand Canyon SkyWalk set to open in March
The Hualapai Indian Reservation is hoping to bank on a tourist attraction in March 2007. Las Vegas businessman, David Jin has financed the project and hopes to bring the view of a lifetime in the Grand Canyon.
The Skywalk will be cantilevered 70 feet out past the canyon’s limestone walls. It will be open to the sky, with glass walls and a glass floor. It will be supported by steel beams anchored 46 feet into the rock on the lip of the canyon. At 4,000 feet above the canyon floor, it will give visitors a vantage point more than twice as high as the world’s tallest buildings. At that height, the Colorado River will be just a thin brown ribbon.
