People visit the Grand Canyon Park to go walking and running but (1) also to look at the view. It is a wonderful view made (2) even better by the Skywalk. The distance (3) from the Skywalk to the bottom of the Grand Canyon is 1219 metres. It is a platform (4) whose walls and floor are built of glass (5) so that you can see the beautiful rocks of the canyon. Up to 120 people are allowed to stand on it at the same (6) time. It opened in 2007 and since (7) then thousands of people have used it. You have to (8) wear special covers over your shoes to (9) avoid scratching the glass beneath your feet. Walking onto the Skywalk makes you (10) feel like a bird floating high up in the air.
