Yes, the Grand Canyon Skywalk is real

It’s been reported for a while that Hualapai Indian tribe is constructing a Plexiglass-rimmed Skywalk that juts out 70 feet into the Grand Canyon, over the Colorado River. The fantastical project sounds like a scenery-lover’s dream (or a nightmare if you have problems with vertigo).

Anyway, the Skywalk seems so improbable that Snopes.com, a site that debunks urban legends and e-mail rumors, has devoted a chapter to it. And, yes, Snopes reports that the reports about Skywalk are definitely true, and has construction photos from the project to buttress the evidence.

In addition, Grand Canyon Skywalk has its own Web site. According to the site, the official opening date of Skywalk will be March 28.

This thing is going to be a monster tourist attraction.
