That thing scares the bejesus out of me.

The walkway itself is transparent, right? Why no photos looking down?

The same guys who couldn't make money running a casino built a bridge 4,000 feet in the air and I'm supposed to drive 200 miles from the middle of nowhere and pay $75 to walk on it? I'd have to hate money and life.

it's funny in one picture one person is leaning over the railing to get a better look at the canyon. "he moron, just look down at your feet and you wont have to risk your life." that's the whole point of the bridge, so you dont have to lean over a railing, right?

Guys look at the thing. There's no way you could just fall off it. Live a little, if you find yourself there give it a shot.
