Grand Canyon West's observation deck

The short answer: Grand Canyon West has one deck that matters: Grand Canyon Skywalk (720 ft, from $59). The verdict below tells you whether it fits your visit.

The Skywalk is a glass horseshoe cantilevered 70 feet out from the canyon rim at Eagle Point, with roughly 700 feet of air beneath the deck. Two things most guides still get wrong: it is not in Grand Canyon National Park — it is on Hualapai tribal land at Grand Canyon West, two hours from Las Vegas — and the old add-on pricing is gone.

How to choose in Grand Canyon West

Walking the glass now requires either the All-Access Pass or the cheaper after-3pm Sunset Pass; plain general admission does not include it. If you are visiting the National Park anyway, the South Rim's free viewpoints beat the Skywalk on view alone. This is a Vegas day-trip product, and a good one on that basis.
