Take a stroll over the Grand Canyon

 Imagine walking out over the Grand Canyon and staring 4,000 feet down into the Colorado River -- while standing on four inches of glass.

Back in 1996, local businessman David Jin dreamed up the idea for a glass walkway while on a tour of the canyon with his family.

Scheduled to open Jan. 1, the U-shaped structure, called The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West, juts about 70 feet into the canyon.

The walkway will be part of a tourist destination on the Hualapai Indian Reservation that includes Western- and Indian-themed villages and helicopter, pontoon and horseback rides.
