A few different Las Vegas tours now offer visitors the opportunity to walk right out into the middle of the Grand Canyon by taking a stroll on the relatively new Skywalk. This is an incredible structure that literally lets you walk out over thin air and stand in the middle of of the Grand Canyon . . . thousands of feet above the Colorado River.

This is a great way to get some truly amazing touristic shots of the Grand Canyon. There´s no guardrail or wall to get in your shot, just pure, unadulterated scenery. If you´re going to visit the Grand Canyon anyway, why not check out Las Vegas tours that offer this optional Skywalk? It´s a wonderful way to get a unique view of the Grand Canyon and you´ll enjoy the photos and video that you can take from the point of the Skywalk, nearly 360º without showing where you´re standing!

Since the Skywalk is pretty new, not that many tourists have seen it yet or walked out on the steel truss half-bridge. You can so just that on the next Las Vegas tour that you take to the Grand Canyon. This allows you to see just what a bird sees from the center of the rift . . . hovering between the two canyon walls and staring down into the clear water of the Colorado River.

HINT: Most Las Vegas tours to the West Rim offer the Skywalk as an extra, but it will be far cheaper if you find a tour that includes it.
