I can easily walk to the edge of a three thousand foot cliff with out a rope but I wonder how many people will be able to walk out on that thing, even with it's railing. I think it would be cool.

Well.... Here's where I say what I think even if I'm the only one with this opinion:
I HATE IT that they did that! :mad:

Well my only nit about this bridge is the price of admission - 20 bucks seems a bit too much IMHO....

Amazing it can hold about 71 million lbs

I hate it also. Nothing can top the experience of approaching the edge of a high cliff (even on hands and knees if need be) unfettered by railings or any other man-made obstructions. I think the Indians should be ashamed, and I bet their ancestors would disapprove. This is monumental litter.

I have been watching this for over the last year, and watching its progress along with it. Now, me, I do not like heights to much, especially looking below me at 4000 feet. I am not really against it, and not for it. But, it will help generate money for the tribe. But, there are also alot of people against it in their own tribe. The price was originally $70, so 20 was a big drop. You pay to go into Antelope canyon, alot more actually, and you pay to go into parks, (unless you buy the annual pass). For me it does not move me much, I would not travel to go to it specifically, and when I do go to the Grand Canyon, this would not be on my list. When they were first designing it and going over everything, it sounded as if it was gonna be enclosed, but the top it open. You would feel a nice breeze that high up :eek: ,

A strong vote with Catherine and Craig. This thing is a desecration.
