Steve, About 8-9 years ago I took a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. Absolutely breath-taking. Going back there in the Spring '06 so will check this out. Thanks for the lead.

We have a condo in Mesa Arizona so we will be going there for Christmas. My husband would like to do the walk in and stay overnight at the Ranch and walk out - they say hire a mule to carry your stuff it is well worth it. I am sure if I show him this picture that he will want to stop and take pictures - not me thank you very much I would be afraid that they would let too many people on and that thing collapses.
Hi Steve ( give_me_one),...............it looks for real,..completed last year,and undergone structural engineering tests,.........supposdely passed the test by 400%,......( but whose correcting the exam................hahahahaha) Here's a link to some info on that Skywalk bridge,.....sceduled to open to the public in early 2006,........so Mom1945,...and Shirley,.....you guys may be some of the first people to venture out on the glass catwalk,.....I would certainly like to visit,.but don't know if this upcoming year will permit,.....Take some pictures for us,.....ps: You may not want to wear your diamond studded tap shoes............hahahahaha http://www.destinationgrandcanyon.com/skywalk.html check it out of you like Have Fun & Remember Verdun
I dont do suspension bridges very well - we have a couple here in Calgary and we visited Coaticook when we were in Quebec in July - their suspension bridge is over a gorge - DH went I sat on the bench. I am fine if I am the only one on the bridge and go slow but usually a bunch a kids will come running over the thing pounding their feet as hard as they can to make it sway. I WILL NOT be going on that contraption over the Grand Canyon either nor will I be walking down into the canyon and walking out. I will tell DH to leave me at a motel that is near a shopping center and I will see him the next day.
Hello ShirleyBH2,........I can appreciate someones'apprehension at anything related to heights,......but I really like that sort of stuff,....it's alot of fun,....and it's no more dangerous,than shopping at your local mall..........but I guess it's not for everyone,...but even in the CN Tower they have a plexi-glass ( or glass floor) that offers you a chance to see through to the ground below.....but I do have friends who also want no part of things like the skywalk,..........I guess I just don't get the same feeling ........You probably wouldn't have wanted to come with me this summer ,when I flew up to the Comox Glacier,..after having taken the rear door off the plane,.so I could video tape,...and take pictures of my excursion,..lot's of fun ( but Teresa wouldn't go with me either,...she chose to sit on the beach,and wait for me to get back..........hahahahah Here's a link of the Capillano Suspension Bridge,.in Vancouver,......it's not really exciting ,but worth seeing,......and yes some people like to get the bridge swaying a bit,....but are usually told to stop............Check it out if you like........ http://www.capbridge.com/ Where are the ones in Calgary that you mentioned,.I cannot think of where they would have one......but I would like to try it......... Have Fun & Remember Verdun
