Thenew attraction has proved to be a big hit with tourists. Supported by steel beams, the Skywalk, jutting out 70 feet from the canyon's western rim, is the first-ever cantilever horseshoe-shaped glass walkway to dangle more than 4,000 feet above the canyon's floor. That's three times higher than the Empire State Building; therefore, it offers a vantage points more than twice as high as the world's tallest buildings. Visitors here see amazing views from an unbelievable 4,000 feet up. The historical skywalk can comfortably accommodate up to 120 people to take a walk on the bridge for a bird's- eye view of the canyon floor below at a time.
