The Grand Canyon Skywalk is located at Eagle Point within the Grand Canyon West Rim, which is part of the Hualapai Indian Reservation in Arizona. You can take a shuttle to the Skywalk from the Grand Canyon West Welcome Center.
Parking: Parking is available by the Welcome Center.
The peach-colored frame of the Skywalk is bolted to the rim of the canyon and could support the weight of more than 70 Boeing 747 passenger jets, according to engineers.
Absolutely! In fact, the Skywalk can support the weight of 71 fully loaded 747 airplanes. To put this into perspective, that’s equivalent to more than eight hundred 200 lb. people. It can also withstand winds up to 100 miles per hour and magnitude 8.0 earthquakes. Still not convinced? The red limestone that anchors the Skywalk can support 16,000 pounds of pressure per square inch.
There are no specific age or height restrictions for the Skywalk. However, all visitors, including children, must be able to cross the bridge unassisted.
Unfortunately, no. To protect the glass paneling from scratches, personal items including cameras and cellphones are not allowed on the Skywalk. But, you can purchase a souvenir photo from a professional photographer. You’ll also be required to wear fabric shoe covers to prevent scratching.
Grand Canyon West is privately owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribe and requires the purchase of a Legacy Tour Package for entry. It includes a self-guided tour of all points of interest at Grand Canyon West, as well as unlimited use of the hop-on hop-off shuttle to Eagle Point, Guano Point and the Hualapai Ranch. If your Headout tour includes landing at the West Rim, it is safe to assume the tour price includes your Legacy Package. In addition, some tours include a meal coupon, which includes a meal at any of the on-site canteens, excluding the Skywalk Restaurant.
Yes, the Grand Canyon Skywalk is wheelchair accessible. The Skywalk Terminal features an elevator that provides access to the Skywalk, photo area, and gift shop, ensuring that visitors with mobility challenges can enjoy the experience.
