The website says "Please call for tours and pricing".

Did they answer the phone?

Pay THEM? I thought they were going to pay US to take that walk! Think I'll stick with my vino by the fireplace in the lodge, thank you.

I believe that to even enter the west rim park area you have to pay some package deal like $50 - $100 and then the sky walk is extra.

I think it's only $25 to go out on the skywalk. If you want to come back off it, it's another $50.

<I believe that to even enter the west rim park area you have to pay some package deal like $50 - $100 and then the sky walk is extra.>

It's $50 for the package that gets you on the reservation, and the package that includes walking on the skywalk (as opposed to just viewing the skywalk) is an extra $25.

And let's not start calling this the "west rim park area", because it is most definitely not part of the national park. Enough people already get confused about the west rim and don't understand that it's not the same as the S. Rim and the national park.

It sounds as though you also need to include the Reservations entry fee--is it $50 per person, per car load, etc., I don't know.

Here's a link to the website of the Hualapai Nation which "owns" and runs that enterprise. If I'm reading it right, the CHEAPEST way you can walk the skywalk is as part of a $74.95 per person fee. This is part of a "drive yourself" option. Otherwise there is an "additional nominal fee" for bus service to it.

As I reported above...$74.95 a stroll. This contrived gadget is constructed "on sacred ground," would you believe, with profits going to guess who. Farther south, on top of the San Francisco Peaks, no snow...either natural or artificial. Why no artificial snow? 'Cause the "native Americans" won't allow it "on their sacred mountain." I wonder what makes places sacred, don't you? Their profitability? I bet Chief Fodor's torpedos this comment...

USNR---you forgot to mention that the proposal was to make the artificial snow with recycled sewage water. I wouldn't want that on my mountain either, sacred or not.

And yes, the profits from the Skywalk go to guess who, the Hualapai tribe. What is wrong with that?
