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.
Lake Mead Cruises
Then it’s time to leave the heights of Hoover Dam and head down to the water’s level. At Lake Mead Marina, you’ll board the Desert Princess paddle-wheel boat for an approximate 90-minute cruise on Lake Mead. You’ll enjoy your deli-style lunch on board as you travel along Lake Mead and admire new views of Hoover Dam. The formation of Lake Mead submerged the once-arid desert landscape, giving rise to a vast reservoir spanning over 110 miles in length and boasting a shoreline of approximately 550 miles. 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. The area stretches across 1.5 million acres, encompassing vibrant ecosystems, towering cliffs, and captivating rock formations. Visitors can witness the remnants of ancient civilizations through archaeological sites that reveal the rich history.
