Grand Canyon National Park, a World Heritage Site,

encompasses 1,218,375 acres and lies on the Colorado Plateau in

northwestern Arizona. The land is semi-arid and

consists of raised plateaus and structural basins typical of the southwestern United States. It is 6,000 feet deep at its deepest point and 15

miles at its widest. However, the significance of Grand

Canyon is not limited to its geology.

Arizona is a state of the United States of America

located in the southwestern region of the United States. The

capital and largest city is Phoenix. Arizona is noted for its

desert climate, exceptionally hot summers, and mild winters,

however it also features pine forests and mountain ranges in the northern high country, with

cooler weather than in the lower deserts. In addition to the

Grand Canyon, many other national forests, parks, and

monuments are located in the state.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a unique glass-bottomed

cantilever bridge that spans 70 feet (21.34 meters) over the Grand Canyon's rim and sits

4,000 feet (1219 meters) above the Colorado River.

It was David Jin who formally presented the idea for the

Skywalk to the Tribe in 1996 and funded the construction of the

project. The Skywalk is expected to contribute to the long term benefit of the Hualapai Nation

and has already become a world famous attraction even

before completion of the attached visitor's center, putting

the Hualapai Nation on the world's stage.
