So, continuing with the theme from yesterday, this is what it's like to look down the face of the Hoover Dam. 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 of the visitor's center. Taken in 2006, in the upper right corner you can also see the supports of what would become the Mike O-Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial . At the base of the dam on either side are the generator houses. You can visit the Nevada generator house if you take the tour.
