The Grand Canyon Skywalk as well as several other activities is located on the Hualapai Indian Reservation in the Western Grand Canyon a few hours from Las Vegas, NV. The Skywalk is a Glass Bridge hanging suspended over the Rim of the Grand Canyon 4,000 feet above the Colorado River. The Skywalk was opened in March of 2007 and allows visitors to walk beyond the rim via a clear glass bridge with views of the Canyon floor well below their feet.
Grand Canyon West lacks the quintessential Grand Canyon views of the better know South Rim, but is an amazing destination non-the less. Complete with its own airport the West Rim receives daily flights from Vegas and other destinations. Along with the skywalk, there are hummer tours, mule rides, pontoon boat rides, and replicas of cowboy and native villages. For those coming from Las Vegas with limited time, or those who have already seen the North or South Rim this is a great destination to add to your trip.
