Amazing Skywalk at the Grand Canyon
Recently, a federal judge ruled in a favor of the company that invested to build and manage the Grand Canyon Skywalk in 2003 and against the northern Arizona tribe that took control of it. Opened in 2007, the Skywalk offers unusual and breathtaking views of the Canyon.
