Grand Canyon Skywalk

Hard to find, but on their website they give good descriptions on how to get there. Be prepared for a 13-15 miles of dirt road drive with max 20-25mph and a very dirty car afterwards!

The Skywalk is amazing. Not only the bridge itself, but the area around it. It is at least as beautiful as the South Rim I've already seen. However it is quite expensive in comparison. For a family of four we paid around $300 to get in. But the time I need to drive there from Vegas is only 2.5hrs, while the South Rim is around 5hrs to get there; so maybe it's worth its price. The bridge where you can see through the floor is amazing! It's a pity they don't let you take pictures from the bridge. They - of course - do take pictures of you and you can purchase them later... But you're free to take pictures outside the establishment!

The Skywalk is the first stop you take in the whole Skywalk experience. Another vista point, the Guano Point is nearby. The shuttle buses come every 5-10 minutes so you really don't have to wait too long to get around. And it is worth to go there, too, since the view I think is even better:

As I said before in my post earlier about the Grand Canyon that pictures are great, but cannot give back the feeling. The feeling of a 4000 feet  (1300m) deep abyss... And here there're no bars at the edge unlike at the South Rim. So you can walk to the very edge and nothing stops you!

The last stop is the ranch. You can either take the bus or your car to get there. It is a fake western movie style town with fake jail and all you need for your amusement. I was not that amazed, but it's definitely fun! And they have shows. And you can sleep over there, too.

So if you can afford the high price, when you're in Vegas, don't miss it!
