Imagine standing 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on nothing more than a sheet of glass. The views up and down the spectacular Grand Canyon are totally unobstructed. You literally have an eagle's view. That must be why the Hualapai Tribe named this destination the Grand Canyon West's Eagle Point. By mid-summer, you will be able to take a stroll out beyond the rim of the Grand Canyon and look straight down, down, down ... or even get married.
Soon the Tribe's destination will include The Skywalk, which will be a first-ever cantilever shaped glass bridge to suspend more than 4,000 feet above the Colorado River and extend over the Grand Canyon.
The features planned for The Skywalk include: an underground canyon cellar for dining, a trolley designed to maintain the underside of the glass bridge and offer rides to guests, and rooftop dining.
The facility will also include a visitor's center on three levels. There will be a museum, a movie theater, a VIP lounge, a gift shop, and several restaurants and bars. The high end restaurant will be The Skywalk Cafe that will offer outdoor patio and rooftop seating on the edge of the canyon.
Weddings, meetings, or special events can be held in the various private indoor and outdoor facilities available in the visitor center. Other features will be announced later.
Grand Canyon West is located 120 miles east of Las Vegas.
