September 22, 2006, Newsletter Issue #7: The Strength of Steel

Tip of the Week

More than one million pounds of steel will reinforce the Grand Canyon Skywalk when it is completed. While the Skywalk may look fragile, it has been engineered to hold great weights and withstand gale-force winds. The Skywalk is the only area of the Grand Canyon where visitors can actually walk over, rather than into the canyon.

The Colorado River is also much more visible from viewpoints in this area, giving an improved snapshot of how the Colorado helped carve out the canyon through erosion. The Grand Canyon Skywalk offers photo opportunities visitors simply cannot find at any other viewpoint in this majestic natural wonder.
