Grand Canyon Skywalk
December 11th, 2006
More than a year ago now I posted about the Grand Canyon Skywalk.
It so happens that Snopes has an update on the project, as well as some photographs of the skywalk under construction:
Grand Canyon West, a destination owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribe at the Grand Canyon's western rim, announces March 28, 2007 as the official public opening date of The Skywalk. The Skywalk will be the first-ever cantilever shaped glass walkway to suspend more than 4,000 feet above the canyon's floor and extend 70 feet from the canyon's rim.
[...]
Prior to the public opening in March, Grand Canyon West will host a "First Walk" event for media and VIPs. The name of the first public figure to step on The Skywalk will be announced closer to the opening.
I do hope they let the general public vote on who gets to take the First Walk, preferably via an internet poll. I wonder who the Colbert Nation would vote for…
