Actually, the Hawk is a Raven that did not rhyme with Skywalk LOL. I took this from the rim since no cameras were allowed on the Skywalk. It extends 70 feet over the Grand Canyon’s rim and weighs 1.2 million pounds. Two people with cameras were stationed on the skywalk and took our pictures for $30 a print. I was not very impressed, the views along the surrounding rims were much more awesome and less restrictive. This is what it is...a cash cow. The clear glass was scratched despite the mandatory surgical booties. The surrounding tourist areas were unfinished and makeshift after over 4 years! The charged was over $80...$29.95 to walk the Skywalk and the rest was for a "permit" to be on the premises which belong to the Hualapai Nation! Well controlled and quite a trap. The bright side was a different point of view of the Canyon that is truly Grand. Overall, a good choice if you don't mind the legal ripoff :) There is a 9 mile stretch of unpaved road for those of you who wish to visit. I was impressed, however, about the incredible engineering work, conditions and circumstances that lead to the Skywalk's existence.
