Buzz Aldrin keynotes Grand Canyon Skywalk opening ceremony
Indian leaders and former astronauts stepped gingerly beyond the Grand
Canyon's rim Tuesday, staring through the glass floor and into the
4,000-foot chasm below during the opening ceremony for a new observation

The Hualapai, whose reservation is about 90 miles west of Grand Canyon
National Park, allowed Las Vegas developer David Jin to build the
$30-million Skywalk in hopes of creating a unique attraction on their
section of the canyon.
"To me, I believe this is going to help us. We don't get any help from

who was at the Skywalk. "This is going to be our bread and butter."
