A glass "skywalk" will be suspended some 1 220 m above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon and should be finished by the end of 2006. It was an initiative from the Hualapai tribe, who owns and administrates their lands west of the Grand Canyon.
The project was designed to allow people to "connect with nature while protecting the Hualapai nation, their culture and values which are deeply engraved in the the canyon walls ". The vision of the Skywalk was to enable visitors to walk beyond the canyon walls, being surrounded by the Grand Canyon while standing at the edge of the Glass Bridge. The project aimed to find a balance between form, function and nature. The Skywalk will include highlights such as a high-end café and restaurant with outdoor patio and rooftop seating on the edge of the canyon.
