Hoover Dam

Today, I had the opportunity to visit the Hoover Dam.  It is an amazing man-made creation that used amazing technology for the time.

Looking upriver as we drove over the dam.

 

Looking downriver. Rather than all the traffic crossing over the dam, they constructed that really tall bridge to carry the highway traffic.

Looking down from the Observing Deck.

Views from various points while walking on the road.

Looking upriver at Colorado River now stopped by the dam.

 

We had fun standing in two states at one time too!
