Skywalk Opens to Public March 28

The Grand Canyon Skywalk, 4,000 feet over the canyon floor at Eagle Point, opens to the public Mar 28 after $30 million and three years under construction.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is the first ever cantilever-shaped glass walkway to suspend more than 4,000 feet above the canyon’s floor and extend 70 feet from the canyon’s rim. It opens to the public on March 28.

The skywalk is located at Grand Canyon West’s Eagle Point, and open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week.

The Spirit Package, $49.95 covers access to all points of interest at Grand Canyon West including Guano Point, Hualapai Ranch and Eagle Point, plus lunch at an all-you-can-eat buffet and photo opportunities with members of the Hualapai Tribe. There are around 2,000 member of the Hualapai tribe, which owns about one million acres around the Grand Canyon's West Rim.

It is an additional $25 to walk on The Skywalk. Only 120 people will be permitted on the bridge at a time -- that is both for safety and so nobody is blocking your view. In order to avoid scratches on the glass, shoe covers will be issued and all personal items must be left in designated lockers.
