Grand Canyon West–a true Grand Canyon West Rhine experience that provides incredible views and photo opportunities including Lake Mead overlook and/or the Colorado River overlooks. On the way through the desert of Mojave and ancient forest of Joshua Tree, this is an unforgettable experience.
Grand Canyon West has a Skywalk which is a horseshoe-shaped bridge with a glass walkway at Eagle Point in Arizona overlooking the west rim of the Grand Canyon
The deck of the Skywalk has been made with four layers of Saint-Gobain Diamant low iron glass with DuPont SentryGlas interlayer. Deck width is 10 feet 2 inches (3.10 m). The Skywalk glass sidings were made with the same glass as the deck, but fewer layers (two) bent to follow the walkway's curvature. The glass sidings are 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 m) tall and have been designed for high wind pressures.
