Yes, Grand Canyon Tours goes to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. The Skywalk is located at the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, which lies within the Hualapai Indian Reservation. The Grand Canyon has three primary visitor regions: the West Rim, North Rim, and South Rim. Stretching 277 miles in total, only the first 129 miles fall within the boundaries of Grand Canyon National Park. Both the North Rim and South Rim are located inside the national park, while the West Rim is situated outside the park on tribal land managed by the Hualapai Nation.
