Good or bad idea - Skywalk at Grand Canyon West Rim in February

Because we got a decent deal on a rental car, we are looking for an adventure and have always wanted to do the Skywalk at Grand Canyon West.  We are going in mid February and I have concern about the weather and the driving, but acknowledge i know nothing really about it.  What are your thoughts on that excursion and the timing of it?  We will obviously watch the weather that morning to make sure it is safe to travel, but I wondered opinions on the Skywalk as well as the possibility of snow and bad weather at that time of year

N Az has been having a very cold winter this year, with above average snowfall. Hopefully mid -Feb will be warmers. 

if you are driving on Route 66 from Kingman  watch out for speed traps. Speed limit can go from 55 to 30 in seconds. 

I've been to the Grand Canyon, north and south rims, many, many times, and when I drove out to the Skywalk one fine spring morning, I was...underwhelmed. it juts out above a portion of the Canyon that isn't particularly scenic...or deep! And the total viewing area isn't that large, so it feels kind of crowded when it's busy. Bus tours routinely arrive there and disgorge 40 or 50 people, and they limit the number that can be on the Skywalk at at any one time---so if you're already on it, you feel kind of rushed.

For this, I would pay $10 or $15. But it costs several times that. Again, if there was a place where I could hang out, take pics, admire the view, eat my lunch, etc., it might be worth it, but they've constructed the surrounding building so that you really can't see much unless you've paid.

Of course, there's a reason why the view is so meh. The Hualapai and Supai Indians owned the western Canyon long before the white guys got there. Their reservations now encompass the parts that the US government didn't want--the rest is now part of GC National Monument and GC National Park.

So I find that place rather sad, and I'm not going to pay for a viewpoint that's much inferior to any of those in the Park.

Its alot like Stonehenge.  Its a really cool site - but it takes a long time to drive out there.   And it doesnt take long to look at it.   Not the kind of place you spend the day at.    So you're spending 90% of the time driving to and from the attraction and 10% of the time with the actual attraction.   

Helicopter tours give you a better experience in my opinion.    But the best way to do Grand Canyon is the eastern entrances north of Flagstaff where you can spend a day hiking.
