Know The Ledge

July 03rd, 2009

The new Skydeck at the Sears Tower in Chicago has a new attraction.  “The Edge” is a glass encased balcony attached to the 103rd floor of the building. Hit the jump for a few more pictures as well as some other crazy places you can walk on glass!

The Grand Canyon Skywalk was built in Arizona:

The Aurland Lookout was built in Norway.  It overlooks the fjord.  You’re not walking on glass here, but if you are up for it try leaning:

The Top of Tyrol in Austria is well camouflaged:

But you might want to go during the summer!  It doesn’t look much fun in the picture below and I doubt you can see much.

and based on this picture, you will still need a jacket when the snow melts:

The Dachstein Skywalk in Austria.  Again, we recommend going during the summer.

    That looks so cool but you won’t catch me in any of those places. I just have no desire to walk on glass balconies or hang out on the edge of a cliff, lol. No Way!
