1. Where is the Grand Canyon Skywalk Located?

3. Just how many people are authorized on the Glass Bridge at one time?

One hundred and twenty guests can be on the bridge together. It was built to support 800 people or a weight equivalent to71 completely packed Boeing 747 airplanes.

4. Are there long lines?

Yes, there can be. The Sky Walk is the canyon's hottest destination. Well over 200,000 people take a look at it a year. Reservations can be made. You can also buy VIP passes to speed up your wait. Absolutely use comfy shoes. For people with an iPod, consider bringing it.

5. What do I need to dress in and what must I bring?

Undoubtedly take a water bottle (full) and sunscreen lotion. Dress adequately: Wind-resistant and cool in the summer months and warm layers in winter. No outside food or beverages (except water) are allowed. There's a pretty good snack bar when you get the munchies. Bear in mind - Legacy Gold Packages come with lunch.
