This morning, Mr Li and I set off early in the morning to our tour bus for a trip to Grand Canyon West Rim..
Very excited cos i know that Grand Canyon is one of the 7 wonders in the world.... Our tour includes bus ride to Grand Canyon and a visit to Hover Dam & Grand Canyon's skywalk and lunch too.
.Total duration of this tour takes us about 6hrs...still able to do some hotel hopper later when we are done.
So let the pictures tell my story...

Pardon me for the different layout of my photo collage as Im trying out on a new program.. Didn't take any pictures of the skywalk as we are no allow to bring any camera or stuffs with us...
So what is the skywalk?
The Grand Canyon captures the hearts of visitors around the world with its epic views of majestic mountain peaks and valleys, clear skies that soar into deep shades of blue, and the awesome biological diversity of Mother Nature. Located at the canyon’s west rim, the Grand Canyon Skywalk allows visitors to “Walk the Sky” with its unique glass bottomed cantilever U shaped observation deck that spans 70 feet (21.34 meters) over the canyon’s rim and sits 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) above the Colorado River. A construction masterpiece, the glass – which is the only element that separates visitors from the deep canyon floor – weighs 1.2 million pounds. Completed in March 2007, the Skywalk is located on the Hualapai Indian Reservation in northwest Arizona and is the only architectural wonder of its kind that allows visitors to truly take in the experience of this beautiful and majestic place.

The Skywalk is really fun but for people like me who isn't really afraid of heights don't even dare to look down...
It must be the psychology thingy that makes me think the bridge is unsafe because of the glass. But the actual fact is that the bridge is so sturdy..
Anyway such adventure is a once in a lifetime.. but i won't go again... haha
