Here’s MSC’s June Steel Structure Trivia challenge! Opened to the public in May, the Glacier Skywalk is an exciting and dramatic cliff-edge walkway designed to offer spectacular views and blend in with the natural environment. The 1,300-ft-long curved, glass-bottomed walkway was constructed using weathering steel and cantilevers 100 ft from the cliff face, putting visitors 1,000 ft above the valley floor.
