Can I bring my camera on the Skywalk?
All Skywalk guests are asked to place personal items, including cameras, in free lockers outside the Skywalk. This procedure was instituted to protect the glass from scratches and prevent items from being dropped into the Grand Canyon. Your cooperation is most appreciated. Skywalk guides are available to capture your experience in pictures and answer your questions. There is no obligation to purchase photos, but if you’d like to buy them, photos are $30 each or you can purchase a USB with multiple photos and receive several printouts for $107 (including tax). Cameras are encouraged in other areas of Grand Canyon West and can be stored in our free lockers.
Is the Skywalk wheelchair accessible?
The Skywalk is wheelchair accessible and we welcome visitors with service animals. Typically, customers with disabled parking permits can bypass the Grand Canyon West shuttle and drive themselves to the Skywalk and other points of interest within Grand Canyon West.

Can I drive my rental car/motorcycle/RV to the Skywalk?
It is your choice if you want to drive your vehicle to the Skywalk. The dirt road to the Skywalk is graded frequently, but if you would feel more comfortable taking a shuttle from Meadview, about an hour from the Skywalk, you can contact Grand Canyon West Express, which operates the shuttle, at 702-260-6506.
What about that dirt road?
Diamond Bar Road is currently being improved. You can expect about 9 miles of non-paved, graded, dusty, but passable road. If you choose not to drive this portion of the road, you can drive the majority of the trip and then take a Park and Ride shuttle available for $15.00 per person round trip. This does require advance reservations as they do sell out. If you choose to take the shuttle, contact Grand Canyon West Express, which operates the shuttle, directly at 702-260-6506.
Where do I park?
All guests are required to park at the Grand Canyon West Airport. Parking is included in the cost of your Legacy Pass. Guests are not permitted to drive to any of the points of interest in their own vehicle unless they have a disabled parking permit.
