Grand Canyon Experience with Skywalk FAQs
- What is the Grand Canyon Skywalk?
The Grand Canyon Skywalk, also known as the Grand Canyon glass bridge, offers fantastic views 4,000 feet into the canyon from a 10-foot wide, horseshoe-shaped glass structure that turns one of the world’s seven natural wonders into a thrilling, must-see experience.
- Do you have working lockers at the terminal if I can’t bring my backpack?
Our Boulder City, NV terminal does offer lockers for personal item storage. Note that no large backs are permitted on the helicopters; bags can be brought on airplanes but will be weighed before stowing. It is suggested that passengers bring as few items possible to account for the weight and balance of the aircraft.
Visitors to the Skywalk at the Grand Canyon West Rim will also be able to store their personal belongings in provided lockers.
- Are cameras allowed on the Skywalk Bridge?
No - cameras and cellphones are not permitted on the Skywalk Bridge. Visitors will be provided a locker free of charge to store their items before entering the bridge.
