The Hoover Dam itself is an amazing site. We took the dam tour (I giggle a little when I say that) and got to go down inside the dam and see the turbines. There also happens to be a huge highway construction project going on near the dam. A new bridge across the canyon is being built. The project is awe-inspiring to say the least. It is difficult to describe just how big this bridge is going to be. The bridge will divert traffic off of the dam itself, which is currently a two-lane highway that slows to a 5mph crawl. Not very efficient if you just want to pass by. They bridge will really change the way traffic flows.
(And here I apologize to these strangers for the unflattering view of their rear ends.)

I got your desert scenery right here... and we're closer! LOL!
Looks like a fun trip. We've never made a quick stop like that--we just trudge through. Ok, let's be honest. I fly. :)
Cool!
