Platform: TIKTOK Author: @amazingusaresort --- Caption/Description --- 🌉 Would You Walk Here? Grand Canyon Skywalk! 😱 #GrandCanyonSkywalk #GrandCanyon #Arizona #USAExplore #TravelUSA --- Audio Transcript (What was said) --- Most people don't know that this is the scariest spot in the United States for those afraid of heights. Many people wouldn't dare to walk upright on it even if offered $10,000. The Grand Canyon Skywalk, located in the vast state of Arizona, stands on the edge of the Canyon. It is a 4 770 foot high sky bridge, about 65 feet wide. The skywalk extends 70 feet outward from the nearest support pillar at the Canyon wall. What makes it terrifying is that all the materials used to construct it are transparent glass, allowing you to see the Canyon clearly through the floor. Despite its sturdiness, you can feel it sway noticeably when strong winds blow across the walkway, causing many visitors to crawl rather than walk. Even though the skywalk is frightening, it attracts over a million visitors each year. The ticket price for the Grand Canyon Skywalk is $60, and visitors are prohibited from bringing cameras or phones onto the skywalk, preventing them from capturing the beautiful sunset over the Canyon.
