The term "tourist trap" was made just for places like this. You pay your $39 entry fee to get in. Ok, they need to make money. Then you pay an additional $20 to walk out on the "Sky Walk". Ok, again, they need to make money. Then you are told you cannot take anything with you. Empty your pockets and surrender your phone and any camera equipment. They provide a "free" locker. Now, on the surface, it sounds like a safety thing. But if you want pictures, you must pay them to take them. Now, I get it. It had nothing to go with safety. That is obvious when you walk out onto the structure. The only way you could lose anything is if you threw it over the tall solid glass railing.
Then I noticed they strategically placed frosted glass in areas that would have a view. Really? If you want to see anything, pay the money Mr. tourist lol.
Now, here is another surprise. The walk isn't even over the canyon. It is over a deep gully outside the canyon. About a quarter mile over, you are looking at the backside of the actual canyon wall.
When you are ready for the second stop of the tour, you wait in line to get on a bus. The second stop was absolutely wonderful. Amazing! So much to see, we loved it.

cruiseplanners_joe,
We're very sorry about your disappointment in the Skywalk. We don't allow outside electronics or other items on the Skywalk not only to prevent items from being dropping over the edge, but also to prevent items from being dropped onto the glass and damaging it. Guests do have the option of simply enjoying the Skywalk experience without paying the extra money for photos.
