Grand Canyon is the steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in Arizona State of United States. The powerful sources that cause an impact on the Grand Canyon is erosion, first is by water and second is by wind. The park covers 1,902 mi² (4927 km²) of unincorporated area in Coconino County and Mohave County.
There is a place called The Grand Canyon Skywalk that is truly an architectural feat. It protrudes a distance of 65 feet beyond the edge of the canyon. The floor and walls are built completely of glass that is 4 inches thick. This allows visitors to explore all angles of the Canyon from atop the Skywalk. Capacity is limited to 120 persons, although it is capable of holding 70 tons of weight. There is currently no time restriction as to how long visitors may stay on the Skywalk. The glass is tinted along the side, and is designated as a safe zone for scared visitors. At a height of 400 feet about the Canyon floor, scared visitors are a pretty common occurrence. Looking down through the glass floors or off the roofs of the worlds tallest skyscrapers pales in comparison to standing over 50 feet away from the Canyons edge, drinking in one of the seven greatest natural wonders of the world. Although it is not situated over the main canyon, Granite Gorge, it is in close proximity, so you can see the main canyon from the Skywalk.
