Workers put the finishing touches on Amangiri's new attraction for prospective adrenaline junkies: a 230-foot-long sky bridge over a 400-foot canyon.

I say via, you say ferrata!  This Italian invention translates to 'iron road' and allows climbers to safely navigate the steep canyon walls using a system of ladders and fixed cables. 

Using the via ferrata system is completely safe when clipped into the network of fixed cables, even if you're hundreds of feet off the ground.

It may seem like it's just a simple climb up a giant jungle gym, but the via ferrata is challenging enough that visitors are required to be accompanied by guides on all routes.

Host Ryan Van Duzer climbs his way up a narrow canyon wall while videographer Scott Johnson films from above.

Although you can't see any blur in this photo, the cameraman is surely shaking in fear.  This is what peering down 400 feet into a canyon looks like!

Van Duzer wanders through the tight walls of Secret Canyon, a network of slot canyons on a Navajo reservation near Page, Utah. 

This unique canyon system was formed by millions of years of water erosion and can be up to 100 feet deep in some places. 

Certain sections of these canyons are hauntingly dark black because the openings up top are so narrow. 

During a thunderstorm, these narrow canyons can instantly fill with rushing water. You don't want t be stuck in here when that happens or you'll get tossed around like a rag doll. 

The lobby at Amangiri has floor-to-ceiling windows that are way more impressive than any HDTV.  From morning to night, the view of the desert is breathtaking.   

Amangiri centers around the unique heated pool, which was built around these 160-million-year-old rocks in order to preserve the natural landscape. 

The suites at Amangiri are simple in design yet sophisticated and elegant.  Waking up in this bed and peering out at a desert sunrise is a magical experience.

The only peeping Toms sneaking a look while you bathe are coyotes and the occasional rattlesnake. 

The bathrooms in each suite are spacious and wide open, with plenty of room for singing in front of the mirror. 

Staying at Amangiri is so tranquil that sitting on the sofa and reading is considered a solid day's work. 

The heated pool is a highlight of Amangiri, especially when it's 20 degrees outside.  What you don't see around the corner is a hot tub, which is pure heaven on a cold winter night.

The world class spa features massage rooms with endless views of the desert.  Falling into a relaxing trance is easy here.

It actually gets quite cold in the desert during the winter months, and these cozy fireplaces are a welcome feature, not to mention a perfect backdrop when enjoying a Hot Toddy.

Amangiri blends in perfectly with the surrounding desert, creating an environment very much in tune with nature. 

This stunning imagery smacks you right in the face as you walk toward Amangiri's main lobby.
