Walking the path of an Eagle


I'm not sure how many of you have heard about this or not but I found it too fascinating to pass by. The Grand Canyon Skywalk has been in construction since March of 2004 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of March this year. It's a Glass Bridge that extends 70 feet out of the canyon top and the Colorado River flows 4,000 feet below it!

The man who envisioned it is a member of the Hualapai tribe and the money goes to supporting the Hualapai nation. His intent was to be able to recreate what it was like for an eagle to fly over the Grand Canyon... only for us.

My family has talked about going to the Grand Canyon this spring or summer and I would love to just lie on the glass on my stomach and look down 4,000 feet and imagine that I am an eagle soaring!
