Located on the West Rim side of the Grand Canyon, the Skywalk is a true engineering marvel. Opened to the public in 2007, it has been a major attraction in the Grand Canyon ever since. Nearly two million come to visit this fascinating bridge each year.
Designed by David Jin with the help of architect Mark Johnson, the idea of creating an extended platform over the Grand Canyon came to reality. The Skywalk suspends over 4,000 feet from the canyon floor and extends 70 feet out over the rim, offering stunning views.
Feel the thrill of walking across the 10-foot wide, horseshoe-shaped bridge made out of glass! It will have you feeling as if you are walking on air. Once you get finished with this one-of-a-kind experience, explore the rest of the surrounding area with a tour. Learn about the history of the area as well as the Hualapai Indian tribe that calls the area home.
To beat the crowds, visit the Skywalk during morning hours. Have your photo taken by a professional on-site photographer or snap one yourself since these will be views you won’t want to forget about! Organized tours leave from Vegas and will provide transport as well as an amazing experience!
The Skywalk is open all year round from dawn to dusk so the opening hours will vary. From mid-October to mid-April the Skywalk is open from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, while from May to mid-October, it is open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm.
