Eagle Point

In the old days, the most thrilling view you could get of the Grand Canyon came standing at its edge. In 2007, that view improved with the opening of the Skywalk at Eagle Point. This 10-foot-wide, horseshoe-shaped glass bridge extends 70 feet out over the rim of the Canyon. Look down and you can see right through the glass platform 4,000 feet to the floor of the Canyon below. Profiled by the National Geographic Channel, The Today Show, and CNN, this engineering marvel offers unparalleled views of one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders. If you upgrade your tour with Skywalk, you will be provided with a Skywalk wristband.

Guano Point

Live life on the edge when you visit Guano Point. One of the most dramatic viewpoints in all the Grand Canyon, this location is anything but a quick stop. Take the “High Point Hike” for stunning, 360-degree views of the Grand Canyon and Colorado River. Be sure to watch where you step, because many areas do not have railings. Visit the remnants of a historic tram that once stretched 8,800 feet across the canyon to a guano mine. Dine right on the edge of the canyon at Guano Deli. And peruse Native American jewelry and crafts while interacting with Tribal Members at the Hualapai Market.
