Insider tips

Bring a hat and sunscreen, as most of the skywalk and mountain path offer little to no shade.

Visit on a weekday to avoid high crowd density on the glass bridge.

What to avoid

Attempting to walk the steep hill during midday heat; bringing bulky bags that make navigating the bridge crowded.
