I think it's silly. A gaudy tourist trap. I would never pay that kind of money to go on it. I'd probably be a bit afraid to anyway.

But I've got no problem with it. It's located in a very remote area of the canyon that I'd wager nobody here has ever visited before. It's nearly 100 miles outside the National Park Border, in a part of the canyon that is much smaller and (comparatively) less spectacular than where the National Park is. You have to drive for an hour or so on indian reservation dirt roads just to get to it.

It's their land, let them do what they want to with it. They have a hell of a lot better record taking care of this planet than we do.

For those of you with Google Earth, check out: lat 36.012 long -113.811 to see how far away it is from everything else.

It's a mile and a half down a side canyon from the river, so even rafters will have a hard time seeing it. They may be able to see it if their guides point it out, and they have good vision, but they won't see it otherwise.
