The views from both the dam and the bridge are absolutely breathtaking.

Hoover Dam
Located in Black Canyon on the Colorado River, the Hoover Dam was once the largest dam in the world. As you explore, you'll see its incredible size, complex design, and the impressive feat of overcoming the challenges of the desert sun, a treacherous river, and towering heights. The construction of the dam also led to the creation of Lake Mead, North America's largest man-made reservoir.

Before heading back to Las Vegas, you'll stop at a local park where, seasonally, herds of Bighorn Sheep come down from the surrounding mountains to graze on the sweet grass.

Earl was an awesome guide! The Hoover Dam is spectacular. Be sure to take the inside tour.. I didn’t have it on my top 10 list to do, but it should have been. So happy and grateful I got to do it.

Art did an amazing job throughout the tour. He was friendly, professional and did a good job narrating along the tour. He is very knowledgeable, providing historical information of Hoover Dam, Boulder City and historic Boulder. He also drove us to different areas, so we could get the photos with the best views and also offered to take the photos. We had a wonderful experience. Well done. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks Art!
