Grand Canyon West Skywalk

Tue 7/28 afternoon.
After completing my gocaching on Route 66 and ending it in Kingman, I decided to drive to the Grand Canyon West where the Skyway glass bridge is located. The last section of the road is 14 miles of dirt road under construction. But its well worth the trip. The road will be completely paved with in two years. You arrive at the first terminal for parking and to purchase tickets. Cost for Tour bus and skywalk is $75.00 or bus only $43.00. The bus will take you to Eagle point where the skywalk is located. After spending some time there, one gets on the bus to Guano Pt where U can hike or just walk around. The canyon views from both area are just awesome. This whole area is located on the Hualalpai Indian Reservation. Fun afternoon. You can go to my Web album to see alot more pictures.
