    Crossing the bridge on both sides reveals an impressive view of the dam and the beginning of the Grand Canyon. The Colorado River makes its way from here to the Gulf of California.

      We visit the Glen Canyon Dam, which dams the Colorado River here to form Lake Powell. We cross the dam, one of the last dams built to generate energy from water. The Glen Canyon Dam, which rises 216 meters above the bedrock within the steep, rust-colored sandstone walls of Glen Canyon, was built to harness the power of the Colorado River to meet the water and electricity needs of millions of people in the West. From here we have a fantastic view of the lake, whose crystal blue water meets the red rock walls.
