What’s on This Site

This website is dedicated to an accounting of accurate facts regarding the dispute between Grand Canyon Skywalk Development (GCSD) and the Hualapai Tribe. Wherever possible, sworn testimony and court documents are posted to provide verifiable information.

This site has been established by the Grand Canyon Skywalk Development, which entered into an agreement with the Hualapai Tribe to construct the Skywalk and surrounding facilities. While the Skywalk is complete and actively serving visitors, GCSD and the Tribe are in a dispute over fees, the management of the Skywalk and completion of the surrounding facilities.

While these issues are being heard in the Tribal and U.S. federal court systems, the developer wishes to keep the facts straight to avoid misinformation among tribal members, tourists, community leaders and the general public.
