About Grand Canyon Skywalk (Grand Canyon West)
Opened in 2007, the Grand Canyon Skywalk is a distinctive attraction located on the edge of a side canyon within the Grand Canyon West area. This unique structure, a horseshoe-shaped cantilever bridge with a glass walkway, is situated outside the boundaries of the Grand Canyon National Park. Visitors can experience views with a vertical drop of 500 to 800 feet directly below. The Skywalk's elevation is 4,770 feet above sea level, with the Colorado River far below at 1,160 feet. It is owned and operated by the Hualapai Indian tribe and has welcomed over one million visitors annually multiple times since 2015. It is approximately 75 miles east of Las Vegas, Nevada (about 130 miles by car), and about 50 miles north of Kingman, Arizona.
