It’s one of those situation where your brain tells you it’s safe and your mind is telling you something completely different!  So I’ll post a few more Hoover Dam photos this week, then move on. This is a view of the Nevada Powerplant that one can tour if you visit the dam. There are a couple of tours you can take, a 30-minute tour or a one hour tour.

The Colorado River is about 700 feet below the top of the dam. To the left is Arizona, to the right is Nevada. The white concrete shape in the top right corner is part… show 1 comment
