HOOVER DAM- 1 or 3 Overview

How to Tame the Colorado? Build a DAM! We took a half day from our visit to LV and went to the HOOVER DAM. We arrived to see the spectacular views, spent time in their lookout areas, went to their museum, watched the movie and then took a detailed guided tour with a guide that included: a visit to the historic tunnels, a ride original elevator to the top of Hoover Dam, a walk through the inspection tunnels at the center of Hoover Dam, views the Colorado River through the inspection ventilation shaft and a guided power plant tour. At the end, we realized this fascinating tour was 3 hours. So interesting. Yes, we have 300 photos but only a few are posted here. This first posting gives you some overview from the signage outside, looking over the dam.Read more
