Introduction Mark Hamilton is the founder of Neothink

Society, a think tank responsible for numerous publications on topics such as psychology and business. Outside of his work with Neothink Society, he also assisted with the development of Arizona’s Grand Canyon Skywalk. When Mark Hamilton read Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead as a young man, he fell in love with architecture, a passion that led him to his involvement with the Skywalk project.

Skywalk project Located at Grand Canyon West, the glass-

bottomed horseshoe walkway of the Skywalk extends almost 70 feet out into the air over the canyon, giving viewers a rare view of the landscape below. Eagle Point, where the bridge is located, offers stunning views of unique natural rock formations. With a structure that can withstand extreme conditions, such as 100-mile-per-hour winds, the Skywalk is stronger than it looks, so visitors can feel secure despite being suspended 4,000 feet above the riverbed. The attraction is owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribe.
