This is an amazing example of what hard working Americans can do! Too bad this place has been hit hard by drought. Water levels were shockingly low and there was no flow when I came Dec 2014.
Just a short drive from Las Vegas and a must see spot for any road trip. I came with my mom. If your on a budget and don't want to pay for the parking near the entrance, cross over the dam and park near the Arizona side. Parking is scarce but if your lucky a spot will open up.
