The Skywalk is Up and the Astronaut Has Walked

The fat lady has yet to sing, that will come on March 28, only two days away! That’s when the skywalk is scheduled to open to the public. So far, just Buzz Aldrin and some news people have been out on skywalk.

I had reported the price as $75 and now have seen the same price quoted on Fox News. Nearest I can figure, you have to pay for a tour just to get out to Eagle Point, then have to pay to get out on the skywalk.

The Hualapai had previously set the price at $25 for the skywalk, then you had to pay to get out there (you can’t drive). The cheapest tour I found back then was about $30, so the total cost would have been about $55. Still no news on their site about the new price, and no, I didn’t “call for pricing”.

You can read more and see a video (The Making of the Skywalk) on the official site; http://www.grandcanyonskywalk.com
