Why have they done this - I'm not big into reality TV shows, but I watched this and enjoyed it.

Skywalk - Grand Canyon
Posted Jan 18th 2007, 9:39pm by Daniel Collett in Fitness
Skywalk opens on March 28th and is a fully glassed walk way looking out over the Grand Canyon. It wonâ..t make you any fitter as it will save you walking down and back up again. But it is healthy because you would have been out in the countryside for a few days if you manage to get there; and it should get your heart beating.

Access to The Skywalk will run from dawn to dusk and will cost $25 per person in addition to the cost of a Grand Canyon West entrance package. One hundred and twenty people will be allowed on the bridge at a time. Admittance is first come, first serve for walk up visitors; however, reservations can be made. Guests will enter and exit the walkway via temporary buildings while the adjacent visitorâ..s center is being completed. Grand Canyon West plans to issue numbered shoe covers â.. in order to avoid scratches and slipping - to each visitor that enters the open-air walkway.

January 23rd is apparently the most depressing day in the calendar but this year it actually is also the day when we are 2012 days ahead of the London Olympics â.. expect nice words from Tony Blair and every other politician who will want good PR by associating themselves with the games.
