Grand Canyon Skywalk
A glass horseshoe extending from Eagle Point is one component of the tribally operated Grand Canyon West experience, with its own transport and photography rules.
Artwork inspired by Ed Mell
The Skywalk sits at Grand Canyon West on Hualapai land, outside Grand Canyon National Park. Its glass deck projects over a side canyon near the Colorado River, while Eagle Point interpretation and Hualapai cultural programming place the engineering attraction within a larger destination.
Admission packages, parking, internal shuttles, and Skywalk access are controlled by Grand Canyon West. Personal cameras and phones are prohibited on the glass and stored before entry; official photographs are sold separately. Do not navigate to South Rim and expect to add this stop.
