Hoover Dam

#usatravel #nevada During our road trip over the summer vacation, we had the chance to visit one of the most popular destinations in the United States: the Hoover Dam, located on the border between Nevada and Arizona. The Hoover Dam is a testament to early 20th-century engineering. This iconic structure not only provides vital water and power resources but also offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a significant piece of American history against the stunning backdrop of the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. When we arrived, we were immediately impressed by the size of the Hoover Dam. Standing at 726 feet tall and spanning 1,244 feet across the Black Canyon, it is both beautiful and gigantic. We took a walk across the top of the dam, and the little exercise rewarded us with a breathtaking view of Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States, and the Colorado River flowing below. Amid the hot temperatures of the Nevada summer, we found ourselves thoroughly enjoying our time at the Hoover Dam. We highly recommend that anyone traveling to Nevada visit this wonderful destination.
