Tourist Attraction or Trap?


You should hear Enwei talk about the Skywalk at the Grand Canyon. Basically, he was like "meh." The thing is cantilevered out with structural reinforcements to withstand gale-force winds, but you're still made to wear booties over your shoes so as to not scratch the glass. Come on, people! The iPhone has a scratch-resistant glass - you think they could get that for the Skywalk. And because of the photography, it looks like it's hanging over oblivion, but that's the magic of good photography. Speaking of photography, they don't allow cameras on the bridge either or any personal belongings. The reviews from Yelp are pretty brutal, and I think Enwei would concur. Nonetheless, thank you very much, Enwei. I got your postcard.

Get there! Or not
