The Grand Canyon Skywalk at a glance
The Skywalk is a horseshoe-shaped glass bridge that reaches out over the canyon rim at Eagle Point, in Grand Canyon West on the Hualapai Reservation. It opened to the public on 28 March 2007. It is not in Grand Canyon National Park, so a park pass does not get you on it.
The bridge reaches 70 ft (about 21.3 m) out from the rim and is 10 ft (about 3.05 m) wide. You walk on a glass floor with the canyon below you. To step onto it you need the All-Access Pass at $99 in 2026. General Admission at $67 does not include the Skywalk.
Our picks: tours with the Skywalk included
Skywalk entry is in the price of all three. The pass is for people who get there themselves and want extras on site; the small-group day adds the transport from Las Vegas; the helicopter and boat day is the one if you also want the river.

For most visitors, the All-Access Pass is the right ticket, because it adds the Skywalk and the shuttle to Eagle, Guano and Hualapai Point. Tickets, vouchers and the Sunset Pass are explained on the tickets page. A canyon landing by helicopter does not by itself mean a Skywalk visit, so check what a package lists.
What to expect on the day
Rules at the Skywalk can change, so staff instructions on site come first.
Shoes and lockers
You need to wear shoes, and shoe covers protect the glass. Free lockers hold your personal belongings while you walk out.
Phones, cameras and bags
Phones are allowed at your own risk. Cameras, bags and backpacks are not allowed on the bridge. Staff on site have the final say, so be ready to leave your phone in a locker if they ask. Do not reach over the railing to take a picture.
Photos
Prints or USB bundles of your photos are on offer at the Skywalk. Ask about the price on site.
The busiest hours
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. the Skywalk is at its busiest. Arriving at opening time or coming for the Sunset Pass gives you a quieter walk.
Weather stops
Wind, lightning, heavy rain or snow can stop attractions for a while. Plan the Skywalk early in your day, in case a stop pushes it back.
The last walk
The last Skywalk walk is typically about 30 minutes after the last admission, and closing times shift with the season. Do not leave it to the end of the day.
How the Skywalk is built, and how high it is
The bridge rests on steel box girders and has a glass floor made of 5 layers, about 2.8 inches (7.1 cm) thick in total. Vibration dampers are part of the design.
Two height figures are in use. The distance to the canyon floor is given as 4,000 ft (about 1,219 m), and the drop under the glass as 720 ft (about 219 m). They refer to different reference points, so neither is a straight free-fall height. For planning, what matters is that the bridge hangs over a deep drop and that the view is straight down through the glass.

Skywalk: frequently asked questions
Is the Skywalk included in General Admission?
No. General Admission at $67 covers trails, cultural exhibits and song and dance. The Skywalk is part of the All-Access Pass at $99. See the tickets page.
Can I take my phone or camera onto the Skywalk?
Phones are allowed at your own risk, while cameras, bags and backpacks are not allowed. Rules can change, so follow the staff at the entrance and use the free lockers for anything you cannot carry.
Do I need special shoes?
You need to wear shoes. Shoe covers are used to protect the glass floor.
When is the best time to walk on it?
Avoid 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., when it is busiest. Early in the day or late with the Sunset Pass is calmer. Weather can pause the bridge, so do not leave it for the last minute.
Is the Skywalk in the Grand Canyon National Park?
No. It is at Eagle Point on Hualapai land, away from the South Rim visitor center. National park passes do not work here. The West Rim and South Rim page explains the difference.
Is this site run by the Skywalk or the Hualapai?
No. This is an independent travel guide, not the website of Grand Canyon West, the Hualapai Tribe or the National Park Service, and not connected to any tour operator or hotel.
