They just opened it, I think. I saw an article in the SF Chron today (didn't get a chance to read it tho).

I don't think i'd have it in me to walk out on that thing...but i'd love to be there to make the choice. I've never seen the Grand Canyon in person. So amazing!

Who paid you to say what you said on clipmarks? I just got back from the sky bridge and it was one of my worst experiences ever. My friends and I are appalled at the misrepresentation the advertisements portray this place. The bridge does not nearly extend out as far as the "Paintings" show. You are not allowed to take a camera on the bridge. They make you leave your stuff at a check in. Even fanny packs securely attached to you. They claim it is so n othing falls on the glass, but it is really so you don't sneak a camera on the bridge. They will take your picture on it for a fee.
There are only dirt roads leading to the sky bridge. You can only access it once you drive the 14 dirt bu...

You are welcome. The entire weekend was not a bust. I had told my friends I had already seen the Grand Canyon twice and was not going to take a 5 hour trip just to walk on the Sky Bridge (this is before I even knew what a waste of money it was), so we added the one day white water rafting trip to our agenda. Now THAT was worth every penny we spent! Is there a way to attach a picture to a comment? I'd love to post a picture of what the Sky Bridge really looks like here. But here is a link to my kodak website. Anyone that wants to see the difference between the advertised pictures and the real thing can go there. The first two pics are the ones that are advertised and are nothing but p...

Thanks again, for sharing the very good photos showing the real "skybridge". That indian village looks VERY 'authentic'.. NOT. I now know where NOT to go when I finally get a chance to go to the grand canyon..

If you want a fun trip to the Grand Canyon, try staying at the Grand Canyon Railroad Hotel in williams. Catch the train from there to the Canyon where you can take a bus tour of the rim. There are many stops with some awesome views. There are package deals that include meals which are fairly decent. Before you take off on the train there is a wild west show that while fake is funny and entertaining. There is live entertainment on the train, kinda cheesy but entertaining anyway. On the way back up grade to the parlor car for free champagne and comfort. Be ready to get "robbed" by those same boys in the wild west show. They actually come riding on horses, stop the train and rob you of ...
