Get the Facts before you waste your money.

Quote from Photographer Mike Malandra "It's a dam shame that this piece of manmade garbage was built." and " Leave it to the selfish human race to destroy every corner of this planet for nothing but selfish gain". |

We couldn't agree more and so will you when you fork out a bunch of money for an attraction that is so bogus... Grand Canyon West is Beautiful BUT.......before you drive all the way out to the Grand Canyon WEST...... JUST to see the Indian Skywalk....Get the facts Hi I'm Dave and in My Opinion..... Save the Expense of the Skywalk. The area is very beautiful as god created it, but the skywalk is a joke and not what they said it would be... You will not walk out on the sky walk and look straight down 4000 feet... and you won't look straight down and see the river... Save the extra 25 bucks and play the slots in Vegas.. |
What they said in
a Press Release: Grand Canyon
Skywalk FALSE the RIVER is 1.4 Miles from the Skywalk!!! |

Visit Willow Beach, Rent a boat and cruise up to the Hoover DAM , now this is worth the money, voted best trip ever!

The Canyon where it over hangs is NOT 4000 feet... it's more like 1000 feet.... and where is the river....? Google Earth the Location and see for yourself. |

The River is North of the Skywalk and over a mile away..... This picture was taken next to the skywalk,,, great FREE View... |

The MATH via Google Earth The river at it's closest point to Eagle Point is at Approximately 1165 feet above sea level Eagle point where the walk is placed is at approximately 4615 feet above sea level. The River is approximately 1.4 MILES! from Eagle Point. The canyon the walk extends out over is at approximately 2775 feet above sea level at it's center, which is .34 miles from Eagle Point.
When you walk out on the Skywalk and look straight down.... you will not be 4000 feet above the river.... The canyon slopes so you'll be lucky to be 1000 feet.... So you are better off going up to the top of the Stratosphere.. for less than ten bucks... just my opinion.... Final note... There is more there than just the skywalk.... The canyon views and the Indian's themselves are very rewarding. There are plenty of places around eagle point where you can walk to the edge without paying / wasting 25 bucks Also don't blame the Indian's for the Skywalk.. it was created by a Chinese developer ... Be sure to visit www.DavesVegasAdventures.com All Pictures Copyright protected Indian Skywalk .com I would be happy to change any of my numbers or thoughts on this web site if anyone can send me documentation... that proves to me that I am wrong.... All thoughts are my opinion only. email me
