Grand Canyon Skywalk
A hope for a struggling area or man interfering with nature yet again.
 
The Grand Canyon recognised as one of the seven natural wonders of the world is at the centre of a row, people believe that a new sky walk could we be ruining this natural beauty. The sky walk is just one of a series structures to attract tourist to the area which include a cowboy town and a museum of Indian replica homes. These attractions, which have been agreed to by a local tribe, (the Hualapai) could cause a land slide of tourist dropping litter and degrading the environment. a third of the tribes 2,200 members live in poverty so this could be a opportunity for the tribe to secure some economic stability. But no matter the complaints the ball has been set rolling and the Grand Canyon could soon be changed for ever from a natural beauty to something resembling a tacky Disney land amusement park.
