Grand Canyon News

Good morning to all – unfortunately must keep it short because my e-mail and voicemail are full of questions about the very subject of this morning’s entry, Grand Canyon West’s Skywalk Project.  Yes, folks, the Grand Canyon Glass Skywalk is for real, and will be ready for you brave souls bearing the price of admission* to walk on in 3 weeks time.   

As of this morning, the roll out of the massive steel and glass structure is complete, and YOU my friends, can see the very first video and photos of this innovative (and controversial) attraction at the official website of the Arizona Republic.  Click on this text link right now or go to www.azcentral.com (that [photo at right] is one of the original artist renderings of the glass platform suspended 2000’ above the Colorado River). 

Let me close with this: if you’re thinking of a visit to Grand Canyon West for your upcoming vacation, get the facts before you go!  Also, if you’re going on a Grand Canyon tour in the near future, we’re not sure yet how the Skywalk is going to factor in… like Grand Canyon West itself, it’s a work in progress. 

For more information, watch our brand new Grand Canyon Vacation Planning video by going to our homepage and requesting your e-mail link, OR go to Google Video and type in “Get the Most Out of Your Grand Canyon Vacation.”   It’s 80 minutes of valuable Grand Canyon vacation planning information, and it’s ALL FREE (but not for long). 

Another clip you may want to watch is our short video comparing two of this year’s most popular Grand Canyon Tours: the Colorado River Heli Adventure and the Canyon River Adventure (the comparison video is below the main tour video).  Two great tours, to two  very different areas.

*Right now, the publicized price of tickets to the Skywalk is $25; this does not factor in the entry fee to the complex (which your America the Beautiful Pass will NOT cover), plus a few extra bucks for the park and ride shuttle from the Grand Canyon West Welcome Center in Meadview… get the facts at www.destinationgrandcanyon.com)
