Hoover Dam, AZ, And NV
It’s clear why the Hoover Dam is considered one of the seven engineering wonders of the modern world. At 726ft above the Canyon floor and stretching out 1,244ft across Black Canyon, this dam was the tallest in the world when finished in the 30s.
It’s is an “arch-gravity” dam, meaning that it’s thicker at the bottom, 660ft wide, and thinner at the top, where it’s only 45ft thick. It took over 6.5 million tons of concrete to construct, and it’s just a few miles to the southeast of Las Vegas.
Those looking for a unique and intriguing experience on the west coast will be delighted with a trip here. It will be one to remember. You can choose from several different tours to suit your preferences, including the power plant tour and the dam tour, making it the perfect excursion for your family’s adventure.
