Apparently, you are not allowed to take a camera with you. If I was daring enough (not me), I sure would like to have it documented.

It just opened today and astronaut Buzz Aldrin was the first to step out on it.news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6469941.stm

If the Hualapais' plans may damage the environment, I hate that no one can step in to stop it. It seems to me Native Americans are for some reason expected to respect the environment more than anyone...

Did Buzz have to pay the $75 I wonder?Meanwhile the floor of this thing is glass. Glass scratches fairly easily. Do people have to wear special booties or something? I'm picturing the view through the...

I think I read somewhere there were little booties you put over your shoes. I can't believe you have to spend like $150 for 2 people to walk on the thing, and you can't even take a picture! do they...

I saw a picture somewhere today of three people on it. They were wearing special shoes.

Simone,They do allow cameras. I saw a picture of a whole bunch of people on the Skywalk, and several of them had cameras.But most were just hanging on for dear life.

I'll blame CNN for their faulty reporting then. They were questioning the reason for that silly rule. If I were courageous (nuts) enough to do it, I'd certainly want my camera to record the occasion.

I would do it in a second. But I probably never will. It is nowhere near the South rim (about 240 miles away), and I virtually never go anywhere near that area of the state.

Here's an article on the Skywalk Bridge from today's (April 4th) Denver Post. I'd be curious to know the reason behind not allowing cameras on the Bridge...fear of people dropping them and scratching...

What an article. So this tribe is in such desperate need of a means to financial survival that they've sunk everything into this venture (albeit with some investors who are putting up the capital and...

I wonder if the $50 bus ride is the only way to get there? If so, I probably won't be viewing this attraction. I can maybe see $25 but not $75.

Jujuju2, the way I understand it, the $50 is to enter that part of the park that is the Indian reservation where the skywalk is located. I don't think it has anything to do with a bus ride. You must...

Here's a, mostly positive, piece of the whole Grand Canyon West experience from last Sunday's Chicago Tribune. Registration should not be required.

Interesting article, but somehow I fail to see the attraction of visiting that miracle of nature and getting down into the canyon with the constant roar of helicopters dipping low over my head.
