Lake Mead, a beautiful site and a great boating and fishing recreational area comes into view as we leave Boulder City.

Then...Wow! That about covers your range of emotions when you first see Hoover Dam where we will spend two hours for touring and picture taking. Walk along the top of the Dam where you can stand with one foot in Arizona & the other in Nevada. See the Colorado River on one side & Lake Mead on the other.

The optional "Discovery Tour" is a great value for only $11 and it includes entrance to the multi-million dollar Tour Center, the movie on the Dam's construction, museum and exhibit gallery. Informative talks by Bureau of Reclamation guide staff are presented at a number of separate strategic locations.
