Tour - Hoover Dam

It’s the Wonder of the Modern World weighing over 6,600,000 tons. Built during the Great Depression, the Hoover Dam answered a great need for irrigation in the area. Named after Herbert Hoover who played a vital role in its construction, the concrete arch-gravity dam is in the Black Canyon on the Colorado River, bordering Arizona and Nevada. A stroll on the observation deck is essential, as it offers up the perfect panoramic views of the Hoover Dam, Colorado River and Lake Mead. Additional stops on the tour include the Winged Figures of the Republic, the spillways (large enough to Ḁoat a WWII battleship), and the intake towers.
