The $21-million Glacier Skywalk officially opened May 1. It’s an effort to get more people out of their cars and engaged with the natural environment around them. The first 400 metres of the walk are along a cliff lined with six interpretive stations and an audio tour providing education about the area. By the time I reach the observation platform that extends 35 metres from the cliff, I’m well informed about what I’m looking at, which is exactly what a Brewster Travel Canada bus driver wanted when he came up with the idea for the skywalk seven years ago.
