Glass Skywalk Built Over The Grand Canyon (GALLERY)

Almost a year and half ago, we previewed the designs for the Grand Canyon Skywalk.  Your wait is finally over as the skywalk has arrived.

Environmentalists are alarmed that a glass-bottomed structure has been erected across the Grand Canyon as a tourist attraction. People will be charged $25 each to cross the Skywalk. Efforts to draw tourists to the area are being made by an Indian tribe who live at the western edge of the canyon. The official opening of the Skywalk is scheduled for March 28, 2007.

An Indian tribe fastened a massive glass-bottomed walkway to the edge of the Grand Canyon on Wednesday as part of an ambitious tourism center that has angered environmentalists and some tribal members. (foxnews)

Uncool is right. Talk about commercialism.
