    I was at that exact spot earlier this summer. No drop there, he's laying down or crouched down behind the wall. Would be funny if the wall started to pull loose just about then. :roflmao:

    It is Breath taking
    They had mules on the south tin you could ride down
    We found them before dark
    They have a paved trail where the mules are do you can walk and look at a lot
    It is 10 miles across from one side of the grand can you to the other
    It is about 5200 ' from the north side to the bottom

    Think it is 90 miles long

    Cool pics CB, thanks. I've ridden near it several times in my life and never stopped. That's when I was young and stupid. If I ever get that way again, I'm taking a good look . . .

    We went to the Skywalk right after it opened in 07, glass bottom horseshoe shape over the Grand Canyon, it was pretty cool, now they have a gift shop on the land end.
    Nice picture CB. The way you did it makes it like you're really hanging on.

    What the heck holds that thing up, HarleysLR.
    Grand Canyon is a beautiful place for sure. Maddog and I had a great time there.

    I got sick after I was there for a few hours
    I was too high for too many hours
    Had to git off the top of the mountain
    I got real protective of the wife there too
    She wanted yo climb around on the edge
    I grabbed her by the pants and wouldn't let her out of my reach
    He brother freaked out I was so protective
    I only posted pictures that I had on my iPhone

    It's cantilevered and it's anchored to big concrete piers, I forget how deep they are. it's pretty cool, pricey but cool.
