DAM!! THIS DAM THING IS EFFING HUGE....
I visited the Hoover Dam and I have to say WOW! This man made dam was MASSIVE! I was in awe of this American marvel! When we first got there, we took the Hoover Dam tour which allows you to watch the history video of the dam, a guided tour down in the tunnels to see the pipes and turbines and then you are off to walk around on your own! I would suggest purchasing the tour to the tunnels, it's well worth it!
As you walk around it's just amazing to see the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead! You learn the history that 96 men died creating tis dam and that 56% of the power for California comes from this dam! It's sad to see that the water level is low and it forces you to think about conservation!
I appreciate taking this tour and seeing the dam!
YOU NEED TO DO IT!
