Grand Canyon was a must see coming from Australia and the West Canyon still gave us the experience without the extra travel and cost. super comfy bus to travel in and our tour guide shared interesting facts along the way. Stopping to see Hoover Dam was also a highlight. Pick up caused some panic as all tour operators pick up from the same spot ( Horseshoe for us) and it’s nerve racking as buses come and go and your names not on their list, but our guide found us in the end.

Let your imagination soar as you take in this awe-inspiring sight, a testament to the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of the Grand Canyon.

Engineering Marvel

The Grand Canyon Skywalk, opened on March 28, 2007, is a breathtaking engineering feat. This $30 million structure, crafted from 1.2 million pounds of steel and glass, is designed to endure the forces of nature, including an 8.0 magnitude earthquake and winds up to 100 miles per hour. Its strength is unparalleled, capable of supporting the weight of seventy-one 747 airplanes, making it a must-see for those fascinated by architectural wonders.

Historical Significance

The Grand Canyon is steeped in history and legend, particularly the Hualapai myth of the giant eagle that rescued the tribe from a devastating flood. This eagle is a powerful symbol in Indigenous cultures, representing protection and the spiritual journey to the next world. Visiting the Skywalk offers a unique opportunity to connect with these rich cultural narratives.

Cultural and Historical Significance

Owned by the Hualapai Tribe, the Skywalk is more than just a tourist attraction; it is a testament to the tribe's resilience and efforts to address economic challenges like unemployment and poverty. While it stands as a symbol of progress, it also sparks debate within the tribe about its impact on sacred lands, offering visitors a deeper understanding of the cultural dynamics at play.

Design and Construction

The Skywalk's design, envisioned by architect Mark Ross Johnson and brought to life by Executive Construction Management, features a deck made of four layers of Saint-Gobain Diamant low-iron glass. This ensures not only a stunning view but also the utmost safety for visitors, as the structure is built to withstand significant natural forces.

Hualapai Culture

When you step into Grand Canyon West, you are welcomed into the Hualapai Reservation, a place rich with the traditions and heritage of 'The People of the Tall Pines.' This tribal enterprise offers a unique cultural experience, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the vibrant history and customs of the Hualapai Tribe.

Eagle Point

Eagle Point is the vibrant heart of Grand Canyon West, where the Skywalk and the awe-inspiring Eagle Rock Formation reside. This area also hosts the Native American Village and various dining options, making it an essential stop for anyone exploring the Grand Canyon. It's a place where natural beauty and cultural heritage converge.
