Walk the Walk...
the Grand Canyon Skywalk!
The horseshoe-shaped glass walkway stands 3,600 feet (1,100 m) high above the floor of the canyon, a height exceeding the world's tallest skyscrapers. The Skywalk is not directly above the main canyon, Granite Gorge, which contains the Colorado River; rather, it extends over a side canyon and affords a view into the main canyon.

 

Stories of the Colorado River
While the whole story of the Colorado spans millions and millions of years, the modern world owes much of what it knows about the river and its geological masterpiece, the Grand Canyon, to the fearless-ness and dedication of one extraordinary man.
John Wesley Powell's two expeditions down the Colorado in the mid-late 1800s introduced the modern world to the scientific and cultural wonders of this natural treasure, igniting imaginations around the globe with mysteries he revealed of the American West.
