Hualapai River Runners

The Hualapai Nation plays a vital role in tourism, especially through river rafting experiences on the Colorado River within the Grand Canyon. By offering guided rafting trips and cultural tours, the tribe shares their rich heritage and deep connection to the land, providing visitors with unique insights into the natural beauty and history of the region. This tourism not only fosters cultural exchange but also supports the local economy and tribal sovereignty.

The nation also operated the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a stunning glass-bottomed bridge that extends over the canyon’s edge, offering breathtaking views 4,000 feet above the Colorado River. This engineering marvel attracts thousands of visitors annually, providing a unique way to experience the Grand Canyon’s vastness while supporting the tribe’s economic development and cultural preservation efforts. The Skywalk has become an iconic symbol of the Hualapai’s connection to their ancestral lands and commitment to sharing their heritage with the world.
