Grand Canyon West is a tourism development on the Hualapai Reservation in Mohave County, Arizona, United States. Grand Canyon West is home to the tribe's Grand Canyon business operations, including the Grand Canyon West Airport and the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Operated by the tribal-owned Grand Canyon Resort Corporation, the development is the primary source of revenue and employment for the tribe. The Hualapai allow activities that are not permitted in the neighboring Grand Canyon National Park to attract tourists, such as flights within the canyon, motorized boats on the Colorado River, daredevil stunts, and development of the Skywalk.
Other facilities at Grand Canyon West include a visitor center, restaurants, cabins, a zipline over a side canyon, a Western-themed street, and examples of Native American dwellings.
