I almost skipped the Skywalk because of the no-camera rule. I'm so glad I didn't. Yes, you have to lock up your phone, but the feeling of stepping onto that glass bridge, with nothing but 4,000 feet of air beneath you, is absolutely exhilarating. The staff photographers were actually really good - they captured angles I never could have gotten myself. The photos were ready in minutes. Worth every penny. Don't overthink it. Just do it.
