i am pretty shure it is from the skywalk in the middle of the canyon, definite yes, but there are small canyons that are part of the Grand Canyon system such as Marble Canyon where you can jump from the Navajo Bridge -- not part of the main canyon that most people think of as the Grand Canyon but it's about a 200 foot drop between narrow canyon walls and that may suffice.

The "other side" of Grand Canyon, otherwise known as the North Rim, is less visited, and not rightfully so. You can get there by a 21 mile hike across the canyon from the North Rim.

You can hike, drive, climb there also.

The National Parks Service has EXTREMELY strict rules against use of the Canyon for such stunts.
