The Grand Canyon Skywalk stands at 4,000-feet-high, making it over twice as tall as the Taipei 101 Towers. Of course the skywalk has an unfair advantage: It doesn’t rise from the canyon floor, but merely extends 65 feet from the canyon’s edge. Since March of 2007, tourists free of vertigo have been able to gaze straight down through 4-inch thick glass to the canyon floor below.
