Interesting sharing! I have visited the Grand Canyon Skywalk recently during my las vegas to grand canyon bus tours. The skywalk is a glass sightseeing structure extending 4,000 feet over the rim of Grand Canyon. It is most famous glass bridge and busiest attraction of GC. It gives breathtaking view of the Canyon. Mind-blowing!
