We went on a beautiful day! There was a deep blue sky, fluffy white clouds, and a breeze when we go to the dam. The tour stopped at a scenic outlook of Lake Mead where we got of the bus and took pics. Then back on and on to the dam. The inside tour of dam was still closed. However, one of the souvenir shops and a café were opened. You can walk across the bridge and see the dam from that angle. Inside the dam property, you can walk the area with has some inclines to get to parking lots. There is a sign stating Arizona Stateline on one section and a Nevada marker on the other. You can literally walk from Nevada to Arizona and back within minutes. This is a nice trip for couples, group of friends, and families with small children.
