I think someone mentioned that you put on slippers when you go out in
the Skywalk.
If it were me, I'd lay thin sheets of transparent plastic over the glass
that could be easily and cheaply replaced if they got scratched.

Worrying about scratched glass on the sky bridge is like worrying
about scratched glass on a space tourism flight (one being a little
more expensive than the other though), so you might just want to visit
the website listed below, and book your plans to visit the Grand
Canyon one nature most wondrous places on earth, as the Hualapai are
reaching out to share the beautiful land they have with everybody who
wants to enjoy it.

"The Great Spirit created Man and Woman in his own image. In doing so,
both were created as equals. Both depending on each other in order to
survive. Great respect was shown for each other, in doing so,
happiness and contentment was achieved them as it should be now.

The connecting of the Hair makes them one person; for happiness or
contentment cannot be achieved without each other.

The Canyons are represented by the purples in the middle ground, where
the people were created. These canyons are Sacred, and should be so
treated at all times.

The Reservation is pictured to represent the land that is ours, treat
it well.

The Sun is the symbol of life, without it nothing is possible - plants
don't grow - there will be no life - nothing. The Sun also represents
the dawn of the Hualapai people. Through hard work, determination and
education, everything is possible and we are assured bigger and
brighter days ahead.

The Tracks in the middle represent the coyote and other animals which
were here before us.

The Green around the symbol are pine trees, representing our name
Hualapai - PEOPLE OF THE TALL PINES"
