Dazzling Dam
Hoover Dam may not be a top wonder of the world, but considering it was built during the Great Depression with what would be considered crude machinery by today’s standards is a wonder to see. Most people take for granted the majestic structure that holds the great waters of Lake Mead behind this immense concrete arch-gravity dam. When you peer over the top and see how the structure slowly releases water to the Colorado River 726 feet below, you’ll gain a whole new respect for this world-famous reservoir.
During your visit, be sure to book a trip on the Black Canyon Raft Tour. The Black Canyon Raft Tour departs from the Lake Mead RV Village. From here, board a raft for a trip downstream. The journey takes voyagers through spectacular and historic Black Canyon with a beach stop for lunch before arriving at Willow Beach Marina.
