History

“Once a dream … now a reality.”

Businessman David Jin envisioned the Skywalk after soaring through the Grand Canyon on a helicopter. He wondered, “What if people could experience the same beauty standing at the edge of a glass bridge?”

Hualapai tribe members led by the Hualapai Tribal Council and David Jin made the first walk on the Skywalk March 20, 2007. Former astronauts Dr. Buzz Aldrin (second man on the moon) and John Herrington (first Native American astronaut) also participated in the celebration.

The Skywalk has since hosted more than 1.8 million people from around the world.
