Yeah the Hualapai Nation opened the Skywalk last year, and you wear hospital room booties on your feet to not mess up the glass. The road to get out there is pretty rough almost 4X4 required, or they will drive/fly you out from Vegas for some $$$.

I'm sure it varies a ton the Colorado goes from 6 to 20 feet so I'm sure the river below that bridge is around the same.

I've been rafting on the Arkansas River in Colorado, the river under the Royal Gorge Bridge...there's some extreme class IV rapids on that river.
I've have yet to goto the Bridge..I'm searching it now...

Summit: Cool man, we have the same Gregory pack.. I love it at the bottom of the Canyon, so surreal, hearing the roar of the River and looking at the stars at night, I've been able to walk in just starlight down there. I realized today I need to start backpacking more and picked up a book for North Rim loop hikes 7+ days..
Sweet! We should set up a hiking trip this summer. I have an MD buddy that's moving to Kingman in June. Would be sweet to show him a great time on the canyon floor. I have never hiked down into the canyon and i have always wanted to.

Two or three years ago I hiked to the bottom, it was pretty sweet.
It was fucking nuts,like 900 feet from the river, it started pouring rain. The trails turned into flooding creeks of donkey urine/shit mud and a little bit of water. Then we got to the tunnel that's right before the bridge at the river for shelter with a few other hiker and it started hailing, at the bottom of the grand canyon!

I went there a little over 10 years ago so I don't know for sure. But I guess people did drive on this one, I guess i was wrong about alot of things. But then again this may not be the particular one I am thinking but this is cool anyway.
That's not the grand canyon that's the royal gorge in Colorado. This is me hanging my feet over the edge.

There is some crazy runoff during the monsoons, and I usually read about someone getting caught in one of the side canyons every few years...One of my neighbors was air-evaced out of Paria 2 Augusts ago.

Yeah, I floated the all day royal gorge trip, those rapids are nuts. I was in the front of the raft. In the very beginning I almost fell out on a small rapid, which kind of taught me how to stay in. But right underneath the bridge in the picture my cousin fell out...in some class IV rapids. She ended up going under the boat to the other side where my dad picked her out. She was only under for a few seconds but she could of been fucked. Its awesome being able to look back at a near death experience and laugh, at least for her. ...Shes the chick in the pink, I'm the guy with he long hair.
I think I hiked into the grand canyon in late summer/early fall '06

It's cool how on the Colorado river when you go rafting they have homing pigeons take the film from the photographer and bring them back to the station so the pictures are ready when your done with your trip.

nope, they even had a show about it on the discovery channel, here's what happens when your going down the river there's a guy who takes pictures of people passing by, but because there is not enough time for someone to drive all the way back to the station were the trip ends with the pictures (because the rafts get there faster than the cars would) they have numerous homing pigeons, not just one. they have little backpacks on them where the photographer puts the film and they fly back to the station where they develop them. It's really pretty cool man, I'm seriously not making this up I know it sounds funny but it's true.
