Grand Canyon Skywalk


Go where only the eagles dare to fly…welcome to

the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Helicopters can take your

through her many valleys.  Buses can drive you by her

many peaks.  But only you can walk the sky.

PLEASE NOTE Google maps/MapQuest does not

have the correct route to get to the Skywalk.

Following

Google Map/MapQuest will take you to Peach Springs which is about 2 hours south-east from the Skywalk.

Please follow the driving directions provided below from your closest location.

Avoid this tourist trap! 1. The site is not ready, evidenced by total disorganization from start to finish. 2. The

cost was too much for the value-$346 for a family of five (three young kids) 3. The road up is 12 miles of

HELL. Wash pan for 12 miles and it is going to get worse before it gets better. Add and extra 1 1/2 hours for

this 24 mile gem.

The view is best though from the glass perch of the Grand Canyon Skywalk -- a 70 foot horseshoe shaped

bridge more than half a mile above the ground. It has brought smiles and amazement, but also an ugly lawsuit

that threatens everything.

Grand Canyon West is the only location throughout the entire Grand Canyon where visitors can access the

river and water recreation activities at the bottom of the canyon via helicopter tours.
