Mar. 21st, 2007 03:25 pmI'm not sure I'd be able to walk across the Grand Canyon Skywalk. There's a good chance that I'd either be clinging the railing and whimpering or crawling and whimpering. I'm fairly confident that there would be whimpering involved in just about any scenario.
Tour packages with deck access will range in price from $49.95 to $199. The deck, which juts 70 feet beyond the canyon’s edge, will accommodate up to 120 guests at a time and offer a bone-chilling vantage point more than twice as high as the world’s tallest buildings.
Architect Mark Johnson said the Skywalk can support the weight of a few hundred people and will withstand wind up to 100 mph. The observation deck has a 3-inch-thick glass bottom and has been equipped with shock absorbers to keep it from bouncing like a diving board as people walk on it.
