GRAND CANYON WEST, ARIZ. – Perched over the Grand Canyon close to a mile above the Colorado River,
a massive, multimillion-dollar glass walkway will be the centerpiece of a struggling Indian tribe’s plan to
lure tourists to its remote reservation.Tribal officials say the development, which may eventually include
hotels, restaurants and a golf course, is the best way to address the social ills of a small reservation, where
the 2,000 residents struggle with a 50% unemployment rate and widespread alcoholism and poverty.
The Hualapai have worked for years to attract more tourists to their 1-million-acre reservation.
About 200,000 people visit the reservation each year, about 1/25th of the visitors to the Grand Canyon
National Park, about 5 hours away.
We took the tour, walked the skywalk, and took many pictures of the stunning scenery.
Hope you enjoy our online photo album.
