Or all of the above. xxx I'll be more nervous than excited not frightenned. Man, It's kind of an man made extension to the natural beauty in that area. Acutally NBC reported that it's one the last hope for the poverty stricken Indian tribes who are living in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to enjoy the Grand Canyon' date=' walk down and walk back up. This is cr@p!!![/quote'] Theres millions that just cannot do it Proff. Millions also cant climb Everest. So whats next, a skyway to the peak of Everest? I understand your point to a certain extent but nature is best enjoyed when you are part of it. Whats more such ugliness robs nature of its beauty. But thats just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I travel from one place to another my purpose is to get from point A to point B most economically and comfortably. When I go to a place like Grand Canyon I just dont want to get there but soak in and enjoy the place. As for jumping off a cliff try paragliding, its fun, safe, and sexy!!

And ofcourse, pollution and emission standards have to be maintained. The difference is that nature has enough power to rid the ill effects of pollution as long as its below a certain level(which unfortunately its not at current emission levels) but there is no way nature can get rid of this ugly edifice on the Grand Canyon.
