Itinerary
Located in Black Canyon on the Colorado River, the Hoover Dam is the highest structure of its kind in the world. It is an outstanding achievement, noteworthy not only for its enormous dimensions, complex design and intricate construction, but also for its illustration of man’s outstanding ability to overcome the desert’s summer sun, the vagaries of a treacherous river, and the extreme hazards of great heights on the chasm’s sheer walls.
This tour includes the Visitor Centre and historical displays, views from the “interior” base of the dam into the Generator Room, the fascinating Hoover Dam movie, with ample time for breathtaking views from the top of the dam, Lake Mead, the world’s largest man-made lake, the eastern edge of the chasm in Arizona where you have fabulous views of the dam including Lake Mead as well as the amazing new Hoover Dam Bridge. Before returning to Las Vegas we stop at a local park where herds of bighorn sheep often come down from the surrounding mountains to gather and graze on the sweet grass.
