One surprise to me was that the new Skywalk(shown in this photo) is not a part of the Grand Canyon park where we visited. The Skywalk is in the far western part of Arizona, about 120 miles from Las Vegas, NV. It is very close to a town called Peach Springs. To get to the Skywalk you must park at the Grand Canyon West Terminal Airport and pay for a bus ride to the Skywalk.
A few Skywalk facts - it's 4" thick and 3,600 feet high, making it higher than the world's tallest skyscrapers. It has a see-through floor which sounds terrifying to me. It was built by a partnership of the Hualapai Indian tribe and the Chinese-American businessman, David Jen. (Photo and Skywalk facts thanks to Wykepedia).
