Your Itinerary
Hoover Dam
Explore the awe-inspiring Hoover Dam with ample time of up to 90 minutes. Capture breathtaking photos from the scenic Nevada and Arizona look-out points, creating unforgettable memories. The Hoover Dam stands as an iconic symbol of American engineering and a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the 20th century. Its construction, which began in 1931 during the Great Depression, was an ambitious undertaking that employed thousands of workers in the harsh and unforgiving desert environment of Black Canyon. The dam was envisioned as a solution to control the unpredictable Colorado River, which frequently caused devastating floods and hindered water and power resources in the region. Rising 726 feet above the Colorado River, the Hoover Dam was a groundbreaking engineering marvel of its time. It required the excavation of over 3.25 million cubic yards of rock and the pouring of 4.4 million cubic yards of concrete, making it one of the largest concrete structures in the world.

This massive body of water not only supports surrounding communities but also acts as a vital recreational hub. Lake Mead National Recreation Area, established in 1964, safeguards this remarkable reservoir and its encompassing natural wonders.
