That would be fun, it didn't exist the last time I was at the Grand Canyon.
This is where I went when visiting familly in Colorado Springs:

America's (used to be the world's) highest suspension bridge at The Royal Gorge in Colorado. My wife nearly passed out from anxiety when we went across in the cable car.
At the other end of the scale, also nearby:

that video is amazing...
- Guy climbs to the end of the ladder, end of climb? no... switch to next ladder
- Guy climbs outside of the cage/truss - end of climb? no, keep going.
- Guy climbs to spikey flowers, there yet? no, keep climbing
probably not the job for those of us with Anxiety disorders, eh?
OAC...
You crazy for going in a cable car lol. I won't even do the one at Niagara.
And that SkyWalk place, they don't even list where it is. I searched google maps and found it but its all blurd out. I doubt I will go on the tour of the Skywalk but it would be nice to do. It will be about $100 per person.
That is a crazy intense video. He just kept going further and further up. I almost wonder what kind of person it takes to do that, and then how much they get compensated for it!

I have a brother living in Colorado Springs. One of these days I'll have to head over there before he moves on.

Yeah, it's worth the trip. The Garden of the Gods is right in the Springs; the Royal Gorge, Cave of the Winds, and Pikes Peak are all local day trips. I'm a skier, so when I was there I drove to Vail and Breckridge for skiing (but it does make for a long day).
My grandparents moved up here a while back; I'm glad to see them although I have to admit that I miss the vacation destination with free lodging.
