LOL. I see that I’m not alone after all. That’s the route that I had driven through them to take our vehicle and meet my husband at a job site in North Carolina
A bunch of ladies from a tour bus were at a rest stop where I asked in an exasperated voice, “How much longer before I get out of these mountains?” They looked at me as though I’d lost my mind. I guess they couldn’t imagine anyone not enjoying being there. I enjoyed it for a while, but that had ended well before I stopped at the rest stop.
My husband was driving when we came back through there, so it wasn’t as bad. He loves the mountains.
As I said, I loved the Rockies, but I was fascinated by the rock. Lots of trees in the Smokies, but they were full of fall colors when we came back through them, and they were beautiful. I’d just rather enjoy the mountains on screen, I think.
Grand Canyon Skywalk. I don't think I'll be visiting this attraction either. It would be bad enough if it didn't have the see through wall and floor.
Good for you.
Been to the canyon a few times and this skywalk is a monstrosity. It takes away from the natural beauty of this magnificent wonder. Guess it’s always about the almighty dollar though. Follow the money.
Wiki says - “It was funded by the Hualapai Indian tribe in partnership with Chinese-American businessman David Jin.”
$25 per person.
