Grand design allows public to skywalk

A GLASS-BOTTOMED Grand Canyon walkway which stands 4,000ft above the floor was officially opened yesterday.

American Indian leaders, a former astronaut and invited guests walked beyond the Grand Canyon’s edge during a ceremony for the new observation deck in Arizona.

A few members of the Hualapai Indian Tribe, which allowed the Grand Canyon Skywalk to be built on the canyon rim, hopped up and down playfully on the glass-and-steel horseshoe-shaped structure.
