Afraid of heights? You might tread carefully, then, if you visit Grand Canyon West, a tourist destination whose main attraction is The Skywalk. The cantilevered walkway, which is making its media debut Tuesday, is a mere 4,000 feet above the bottom of the canyon. It opens to the public on March 28.
The open-air skywalk extends 70 feet out from the rim of the canyon, where it's anchored in part by the visitor center. It will be open from dawn to dusk, and the price of admission is $25 per person. (No word on whether that price includes an airsick bag.) As many as 120 people will be allowed on the bridge at any given time; each will have to wear special shoe covers to prevent slipping and scratching.
