Grand Canyon Sky Walk
dust, bumps and more dust
From the looks of it they are building a hotel that will overlook the overlook.
The Grand Canyon is always, well, Grand. I drove to the Western Rim today on the Hualapai Tripe Reservation where somebody built the Canyon Sky Walk. The 25 mile drive to the Skywalk is on a brutal, bumpy, dusty road, but it does not stop people. The overlook was impressive, but not without cost. It is $25 to get into park; $25 to park a car; $25 to take the shuttle bus to the overlook; $25 to enter the skywalk; $35 if you want your picture since no cameras or cellphones are allowed. I do hope this money goes back to the tribe like the brochures says, but I doubt it.

Hi Cuz
Regarding the skywalk - I read several articles about this, and it was built by the Native Americans on their "land" and they are supposed to be getting the proceeds.
It looks like everything is well with you on your journey.
