We told you a few months back about plans to build the Skywalk but we weren't sure if it would actually come to be. It turns out that it finally did get built, though it doesn't look quite as nice as it did in the preliminary illustrations. Starting March 28th, you and yours will be able to walk out on the cantilevered walkway that hangs roughly 4,000 feet above the canyon floor. The Skywalk can handle up to two dozen basketball teams at a time and costs $25 a head. We haven't gotten a chance to actually see this thing in person but it looks quite the eyesore compared to the way it was conceived. Let us know if you get a chance to check it out.

Until now i feel the chills everytime i see a picture of the grand canyon. Still can't believe how those rocks formed. It's magical.
