Got up super early to drive to Arizona and the edge of Grand Canyon West to experience the Skywalk. Little did we know there was 14 miles of corrugated, dirt road!!! Within a few miles, the 'maintenance required' light turned on in my 2007 Yaris!! It was a gut wrenching, tooth rattling ride. At the Skywalk 'terminal' we endured more wind and dust, porta-potties and loud helicopters landing across the street. A bus (with transmission issues) drove us on more dirt roads to the actual Skywalk. Was the chance to walk 4,000 feet above the Grand Canyon floor worth $80 each? (plus the locker rental to put all the stuff you're not allowed to take on the glass) They do, however, give you cute booties to slip over your shoes and take a picture of you in them, for a mere $25 !! On a positive note, this side of the Grand Canyon is not part of the national park system, so there are no fences to keep you from the very edge. The Colorado River is close below winding through the beautiful red canyon. The food was actually good, but served on paper plates with plasticware. We were horrified to watch the wind blow them right into the canyon. For every positive, there was a negative... a 50/50, expensive experience. Oh, then it rained... and there was no shelter, walking through puddles and mud to get back to the car (then had another 14 miles of unpaved road to endure!)Song is "Six Feet from the Edge" by Creed
