Grand Canyon West Announces Grand Canyon Sky Walk Opening


Grand Canyon, Arizona: The first chance for the public to experience the Grand Canyon Skywalk will be March 28, 2007, at 10:00 a.m.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is the first ever cantilever-shaped glass walkway to suspend more than 4,000 feet above the canyon's floor and extend 70 feet from the canyon's rim. Located at Grand Canyon West's Eagle Point, the Skywalk is open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week.

Purchase of The Spirit Package,
$49.95, includes the Hualapai visitation permit, access to all points of interest at Grand Canyon West including Guano Point, Hualapai Ranch and Eagle Point, lunch at an all-you-can-eat buffet and photo opportunities with Hualapai Members. It is an additional $25 to walk on The Skywalk. To maximize visitors' experience, a limit of 120 people will be permitted on the bridge at any one time. In order to avoid scratches on the glass, shoe covers will be issued and all personal items must be left in designated lockers.

The visitor's center,
scheduled to open early next year, will include a museum, theater, VIP lounge and gift shop as well as private indoor and outdoor facilities for meetings, special events and weddings. Several restaurants and bars will be available, including The Skywalk Café, a high-end restaurant with outdoor patio and rooftop dining on the edge of the canyon. The second floor of the visitor's center will provide access to The Skywalk glass walkway.

Winners of the "Walk the Skywalk Before the Public"
tickets will be able to walk before the Skywalk at 8 a.m., and eBay auction winners at 9 a.m. "Walk the Skywalk Before the Public" tickets are currently being auctioned on eBay. Please visit www.destinationgrandcanyon.com for more details.
