Introducing Las Vegas' Hottest Attraction
It was a daring proposition: Build a glass bridge 70 feet over the side of the Grand Canyon. But would Las Vegas visitors travel 120 miles to experience it? The answer: A resounding "Yes" as more than 250,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 people a year come to "Skywalk" the West Rim.
The Skywalk is located in a remote stretch of desert owned by the Hualapai Indian Tribe. Diesel fuel, water, and waste are trucked in over a ten-mile dirt road. Cell phone and Internet connectivity is provided by satellite uplinks; in late 2009, satellite repeaters were installed that give visitors cell phone coverage in Guano and Eagle Points. The Bridge is definitely off the beaten track.
So why do people come? Simple: Nowhere else in Grand Canyon National Park can you walk past the edge and be suspended 4,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 feet above the Colorado River.
Talk about tall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the space between the Skywalk and the river below it is two times the height of the world's tallest building. To put the Skywalk into perspective, here's a list of the world's tallest structures:
> CN Tower - 1,815 ft.
> Taipei 101 - 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],671 ft.
> Petronas Towers - 1,483 ft.
> Sears Tower - 1,450 ft.
> Empire State Building - 1,250 ft.
> Stratosphere Tower - 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],149 ft.
> Gateway Arch - 630 ft.
> Petronas Towers - 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],483 ft.
> Hong Kong Shanghai Bank - 587 ft,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
None of these man-made towers come close to the Bridge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which becomes even more spectacular considering you are supported over the precipice by 10-foot wide by 2-inch thick walkway made of glass. This isn't ordinary material: Special low-iron glass comprises the Bridge's deck panels,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which, as a whole,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], can support up to 800 people and withstand major earthquakes. The glass railings are five-feet tall by two-inches thick and have been engineered to defeat the high winds which are known to rip through this part of the Canyon.
The effect of this Glass Bridge will leave you breathless. Looking out toward the horizon or down to the bottom, you'll feel as if your are floating over the Canyon's ageless depths. Cameras and other personal electronics are not allowed on the Bridge because they will scratch the surface if dropped. It's also the reason you'll be required to wear cotton booties over your shoes. It's only 120 miles east of Las Vegas; driving time is 2.5 hours one-way. It's a great value, especially if you book it as a West Rim bus tour (remember, Skywalk tickets are not bundled with bus tour packages and must be purchased when you get to the site). Making this trip to Sin City one to remember? Then put the Glass Bridge on your "must-do" list.
