쉬운 블랙 마운틴 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

Lake Mead is a reservoir on the Colorado River, it is on the border of Nevada and Arizona. It was created by the Hoover Dam and is the largest man-made reservoir in the United States.

The Colorado River flows through the Grand Canyon and then widens to form Lake Mead behind the Hoover Dam on the Arizona-Nevada border.

A striking statue at Hoover Dam honoring the brave workers who scaled the canyon walls. Worth a quick stop to appreciate the history and the sculpture by Steven Liguori.

The best view of the dam is from the nearby bridge. You can see its size.

HIGH SCALER Sculpture by Steven Liguori

From a 221 meter high observation deck, we enjoy the breathtaking view of Lake Mead, the Colorado River and the numerous valleys and gorges that surround the dam. The Hoover Dam is about as high as a 60-story building and was the tallest dam in the world when it was built in 1935. During our visit, we have the opportunity to go inside the dam. We walk through the original construction tunnels and visit the observation deck with a view of a pressure pipeline and 8 of the commercial generators in the Nevada Powerhouse.

Very impressive structure. Good parking right next to the highway (free). The walk is not very long and easy to walk. From the bridge you have an excellent view of this dam.
