Grand Canyon Glass bridge Can Give You Dream Skywalk

Want go for a dream Skywalk, let's walk through Glass Bridge, which is suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon .

On May 2005, the final test was conducted and the structure passed engineering requirements by 400 percent, enabling it to withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more that 71 million pounds).

The Glass bridge is one of miracle of the world & Bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles,

Extending 70 feet (21 meters) from the canyon wall, the 30-million-dollar SkyWalk will put a few scant inches of glass between visitors and a 4,000-foot (1,220-meter) plunge to the Colorado River.
As it was inched out by an industrial-strength pulley system, the glass bridge was balanced by half-million-pound (227,000-kilogram) steel weights on its back end.

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.

Grand Canyon West is located 120 miles east of Las Vegas.

So what are wattling for.........

Pay only $25 admission fee

Enjoy the dream Sky walk.
