Grand Canyon Skywalk

Had a wonderful day visiting the Grand Canyon Skywalk.  Only about 1.5 hour drive from my Kingman AZ KOA base allowing for the 45 mph speed limit the last 25+ miles for no obvious reason.  I’d say Indian Reservation speed trap but there were no police either.  What ever, time is free when you are retired.  Whoooooo Hoooo

They don’t allow you take your own phone or camera onto the skywalk, presumable to protect the glass from dropped objects.  So they have 3 photographers who will photo you and then as you leave you can purchase your photos (one for $17, four for $25, or the digital download for $60).  I think I see the real reason for no phones/cameras on the skywalk.  Grin.  Anyway I purchased the package which includes some stock shots of the walk site.  I’ve included the best here (sorry for the ones you’ll have to rotate, I’ve given up trying to get WordPress to not mess with my fine editing work.)

Tomorrow it is 120 miles to Williams AZ, all uphill.  Going from 3300 ft. altitude to 7000 ft.  Found a great publication call the Mountain Directory that provides a description of steep highway grades.  Looks like it is just a steady easy incline other than one area so I should be good as look as I watch the engine temp and use engine breaking on the down grades.

Enjoy the photos!
