I am a big fan of the Canyon and have always been concerned with the debate around 'Access versus Excess' - the Sky Walk will doubtless increase access to the Canyon which is a positive since it involves sharing natural history. However, the fact that it is a permanent, man-made, obtrusive construction surely points to excess? What next, a theme park? I'm not sure if there is a solution to this problem but I am glad that you have articulated these concerns and provided a forum for others to do the same. Best wishes, Mark Taylor.
