Grand Canyon Skywalk: Everything You Need to Know Before You Visit

The Grand Canyon Skywalk, also known as the Grand Canyon Glass Bridge, is one of the most thrilling ways to experience the Grand Canyon from above. Located at Grand Canyon West on the Hualapai Tribal lands, this incredible glass bridge extends 70 feet beyond the canyon rim and lets you look 4,000 feet straight down through its clear glass floor, a true bucket-list experience for adventure seekers!

Where is the Grand Canyon Skywalk Located?

The Skywalk is at Eagle Point, part of Grand Canyon West, which sits on nearly 1 million acres of Hualapai land. Unlike the popular Grand Canyon South Rim, Grand Canyon West is not part of Grand Canyon National Park.

Distance from Las Vegas: ~120 miles east
Distance from Kingman, Arizona: ~70 miles north
Easiest access: From Las Vegas or Kingman by car, or by flying into the Grand Canyon West Airport

Upgrade options: Helicopter tour, Colorado River rafting, or lunch with canyon views
