Hoover Dam

We took a family field trip to Hoover Dam.

Here's the bridge they recently constructed over the river:




It's beautiful! ...Except that when you drive across it, you can't see the dam. Or the river. Or anything except the road and the tall walls around you. It's a bit disappointing.

We took a tour of the underground tunnels:


We saw the massive rotors:




That's a car next to it:


Later in the tour they had a rotor model you could walk around in, and it looked like a Star Trek set:


I love the tilted electrical towers:


And these adorable little monkeys:
