We had a very good question from a reader today, to which I thought I knew the answer but realized I did not!
Dear Arizona Travel:
I will be traveling to the Grand Canyon West Rim with my pet puppy. Are pets allowed on the Grand Canyon Skywalk?
Thank you - Cozette

Hi, Cozette. Great question! In researching the answer, I found I could not find confirmation on the Destination Grand Canyon website nor the Grand Canyon Skywalk website regarding pets, but I believe that no pets are allowed ON the Skywalk itself. If the Grand Canyon West Rim rules are the same as the parts of the Grand Canyon that are within the National Park boundary, then pets are allowed – if kept on a leash at all times.
However, I’m 99% certain that pets are not allowed on the Skywalk itself. The operators of the Skywalk are very careful about keeping the glass walkway pristine of any scratches; they do not allow shoes, (shoe covers are provided and required) cameras or even wheelchairs, so one could safely assume that they would not allowed pets – neither walked nor carried.
Need a dogsitter while you enjoy the West Rim? We recommend treating your dog to a fun day at the Canyon Pet Resort in Flagstaff, Arizona. You can reach them at (928) 214-9324.
Enjoy your trip!
