Grand Canyon zip lines set for January

PEACH SPRINGS, Ariz. (AP) - The Hualapai Tribe is expanding tourist offerings at the west rim of the Grand Canyon.

More than 1 million people a year visit Grand Canyon West, outside the boundaries of the national park. It's best known for the Skywalk, a horseshoe-shaped glass bridge that juts out 70 feet from the canyon wall and gives visitors a view of the Colorado River 4,000 feet below.

The tribal corporation that runs it recently opened a restaurant in a connected visitor center that had been the subject of a bitter dispute between a late Las Vegas businessman and the tribe.

In January, the corporation plans to open a pair of zip lines that will send guests nearly 1,000 feet above a side canyon. Each zip line will carry four people.

6. Geez...I'll never visit the Grand Canyon, but I'm glad it's there for other people

To me, it's the ultimate yawning, screaming horror. Fear of edges is a terrible thing.

7. I'm glad I saw it before all this shit was built. NT

8. I got light-headed just reading the words "horseshoe-shaped glass bridge that juts out 70 feet."

9. I feel vaguely nauseated just thinking about a zipline over the Grand Canyon.

10. I wonder if the view would be like this?

Even just for a few seconds...

11. Cool! Glad Im not the guy sitting on the edge, though.

12. They have spot at Grand Canyon West that has one of the most spectacular views of the Canyon.

Not the glass walk.
