The typically irreverent Roadside America was there on opening day of the Grand Canyon Skywalk. The report is one of the best I’ve read.
Roadside America also has a video from the ceremony. Much has been reported about Skywalk’s safety, but seeing the television reporters get buffeted by strong winds near the edge of the canyon, away from the Skywalk, was a lot more alarming.
Also, you can check out what the Hardest-Working Guy on Skywalk does.
Roadside America also has a second video of its drive on the horrid, unpaved road leading to Skywalk.
Parts of the best road, a 21-mile dirt 1 1/2-laner, is said to be almost impassible in rain; in dry weather, it’s really bumpy, dusty, and offers occasional boulder surprises.
