Trip Report: Grand Canyon Skywalk


Bertips.com | The Grand Canyon Sky Walk reigns as Vegas' most popular outdoor attraction. Rightly so, too: Where else on the globe are you able to walk 70 feet beyond the edge and be lifted 4,000 feet above the Colorado River? If defying gravity excites you, here's 7 things you need to know before you go:

1. Where is the Grand Canyon Sky Walk Located?

The Skywalk is located about 120 miles east of Vegas, NV, at Grand Canyon West. Bus, helicopter and plane tours from Sin City take 2.5 hours, 45 minutes, and 25 minutes respectively.

2. What is the Actual Cost of Admission?

There are 3 packages. You need the Legacy Gold Package, which costs $87.69 per adult. It includes Skywalk passes and full access to Grand Canyon West, including cowboy performances, Native American Indian demonstrations, Guano Point, Eagle Point, Hualapai Ranch, the shuttle bus and lunch.

3. What number of people are allowed on the Sky Walk at once?

One hundred and twenty travelers can be on the bridge simultaneously. It was designed to hold 800 people or a weight equivalent to71 completely filled Boeing 747 airplanes.

4. Does it have long lines?

Yes, there are. The Glass Bridge is the canyon's most popular attraction. Well over 200,000 people visit it per year. Reservations are available. You can also purchase VIP tickets to facilitate your wait. Definitely use comfy shoes. If you have an iPod, consider bringing it.

5. What do I need to wear and what must I bring?

Without a doubt get a water bottle (full) and sun block lotion. Dress appropriately: Wind-resistant and cool during summer months and warm layers in winter.

No outside food or drinks (except water) are permitted. There is a pretty respectable snack bar should you get the munchies. Remember - Legacy Gold Packages come with lunch.

Bring a digital camera and extra batteries and memory sticks. Unfortunately, cameras are banned from the Glass Walkway because they may chip the glass deck (each section supposedly costs $200,000 each) if dropped. Professional photographers are available on the Skywalk to take your picture, which you can pick up in the souvenir store.

6. Is there a time limit?

Presently, there is no time limit, so take your time and relish the unbelievable landscape. The best views can be had on the right side of the bridge.

7. Is there anything else to do in addition to the Sky Walk?

A lot. There is the Indian Village with authentic dwellings, Guano Point, The Hualapai Market, a western town replica called The Hualapai Ranch, and a 250-seat amphitheater. The basic Legacy package ($43.05 per person) gets you unlimited access to all of these points of interest except the Skywalk.

Looking for a fast and simple excursion from Vegas? The Grand Canyon Sky Walk is the ticket. Choose carefully how you visit as the price can add up. Bus, helicopter, and airplane tours are your most affordable route to go, especially if you book on-line direct with the tour operator. I regularly save up to 35 percent using this method. So put the Skywalk on your list of things you can do. It'll be the highlight of your vacation.
