Heights Rush

Do you know about the famous glass-floor in at the CN Tower in Toronto ? Walking with 350m below your feet, quite an experience.


What about the new Skywalk at the Grand Canyon, Arizona ? A glass pathway built as a horseshoe 1100m above the Colorado River. The emptiness directly below your feet is only about 200m, though.


The environemental aspect of this is questionable, but at least it brings extra income to the native-american tribe that is operating it.

In any case, hard to beat the Leukerbader Klettersteig in switzerland, where, right after coming out of a vertical cave, you will end up with 1000m of void right under your foot! Been there, done that :-)
