The Grand Canyon Skywalk: What to Expect
Updated October 18, 2026 · 4 min read
The glass-bottomed horseshoe bridge at Eagle Point, Grand Canyon West.
About the Skywalk
The Skywalk is a horseshoe-shaped glass walkway that lets you look straight down into a side canyon. It is at Grand Canyon West, not in the national park, so it is only reachable from the west side.
Planning
Skywalk access is purchased as an add-on to a Grand Canyon West visit. You will store personal items in lockers before walking on the glass and wear protective shoe covers. Many Las Vegas day trips include the Skywalk as an option.
