A walk in the clouds
The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West will suspend visitors over the Colorado

By ERIKA BAYER-POLAK
VIEW STAFF WRITER

Grand Canyon West soon will be a worldwide draw for a man-made reason: The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West.

The Skywalk, which should be visible near the end of July and open to the public late this year, will be a U-shaped transparent-glass walkway extending 70 feet from the edge of the canyon wall and 4,000 feet above the Colorado River. There is no weight limit -- it can hold more than 71 million pounds. The maximum number of people the glass walkway will hold, based on the area of The Skywalk, will be about 140 at any given time.

After getting to the NIAA Class 4A Southern Nevada girls soccer championship game three years in a row, Palo Verde finally captured its first title, shutting out Green Valley, 3-0, on Feb. 18 at the Bettye Wilson Soccer Complex.

In a game that was billed as youth versus experience -- 12 of the 18 players on the Gators' roster were either freshman or sophomores -- it was Mother Nature that stole the show as the Panthers scored all three of their goals in the second half with gusty 20-plus mile-per-hour winds behind them.
