We visited Grand Canyon West, a commercial operation of the Hualapai Tribal Nation.
On the way there, we enjoyed seeing lots of Joshua trees and snowy mountains:
The sign for Grand Canyon West:
The main terminal; there is lots of parking, an airport, large heliport, and gift store here:
One catches buses to reach the other two areas:
The first stop is Eagle Point:
Do you see the eagle?
A selfie:
The main attraction of Grand Canyon West is the Skywalk, a horseshoe-shaped glass bridge that extends 70 feet out over the canyon:
We went to the restaurant for lunch first, which had a great view over the Skywalk:
No personal belongings allowed on the Skywalk:
Line:
We put our stuff in a locker:
They have photographers on the Skywalk to take posed pictures:
Some stock pics of the Skywalk that came with our photo downloads:
After we experienced the Skywalk, we headed outside and looked at some Native American tribal structure exhibits:
Then caught a bus to Guano Point:
Posing ravens:
Nice Grand Canyon views:
This point is named for a guano mine (harvesting bat droppings for fertilizer); there are still some ruins of a tram used for that operation:
A long line for the bus back to the terminal (it was much longer when we joined it):
On the way back to Kingman, “Expect Cattle”:
Yep, cows were expected:
A fun experience, and a different perspective on the Grand Canyon.
