I was there before the skywalk was built. It's a lovely, intimate view of the Colorado gorge.


It was a relatively uncrowded venue during my visit, Kathy. Happy Thanksgiving!

Great imagery, Mike. I really like the penultimate shot with the little "ants" crawling the hillside for perspective and scale.

In Las Vegas, with the North Rim closed and the South Rim too far away for a day trip, I decided to try Grand Canyon West. This portion of the Grand Canyon is not part of the National Park. It is owned by the Hualapai tribe. The tribe decided to use its area by creating the Skywalk, a glass balcony that allows tourists to see straight down into the canyon. In that you cannot take a camera or iPhone on the Skywalk, I decided not to bother.

My main reason for the trip was the helicopter rides available into the canyon. I will posts shots from that ride later.

This set is shots from the two main viewpoints - Eagle Point, with its Skywalk, and Guano Point, site of the old guano mine.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Mike,
Great photos. The birds really add to your shots and the people add a scale to show the majesty of the canyon.

Thanks, Steve, I have to be reminded that scale is important in my panos. Happy Thanksgiving.
