Grand Canyon Skywalk

We are camping in Flagstaff, AZ and want to visit the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Directions from Flagstaff to the Skywalk take me to Kingman AZ where I get off I-40 onto several county roads. The county roads are, CR20, CR 25, CR 261 then onto a unpaved road then back onto CR 261 then CR 7 and then dirt roads. My Good Sam road map shows the CR roads as "other roads" and/or "unpaved roads". In fact, my Good Sam road map doesn't show all of the county roads I'd be on. My question is, how difficult of a drive is it to the Skywalk? I drive a Chevy 3500HD dual cab with an 8 foot box. Thanks for your input.
  • Visit the Skywalk if you must.It's Reservation land and they charge for the air you breath. I'd suggest the South rim shuttle tour and hold on to your money.

    The Sky Walk is very expensive and a lot of restrictions, First you have to go north on highway 93 from Kingman first to reach your posted directions. I would as another has posted go to the South Rim and maybe make the road trip the North Rim.

    If you really want to go the Sky Walk here's a link to their website:
    Sky Walk Bridge
  • From Kingman take Hwy 93 towards Las Vegas and exit at Meadview Arizona. The road to the Skywalk is a dirt road to a parking area and you are transported by a bus to the skywalk area. Keep in mind that they charge you for everything check the cost before going and one other note, there is no picture taking on the glass skywalk.
    There is much more to see and do at the South and North Rims and the roads are all paved.

    If you decide to go have a great time.
  • Best to go to South rim, then around the East side to the North Rim. All good roads.
