When we arrived at Hoover Dam, we parked our car in the parking lot of the tourist center ($10/unlimited time), took enough drinking water and walked to the top of the dam (the temperature was as high as 40 degrees Celsius on that day, it was very important to replenish water). The radial gate was quite powerful to watch from high to low. Not far away, Highway 93 crossed the mountain, and its bridge became the perfect background of the dam. Large diversion tunnels and large power grid towers form a magnificent picture. The top of the dam is a two-lane road. We are happy to walk right and left. We have a panoramic view of Lake Mide and the dam. Then we take the elevator down to the viewing platform. After security check, we know that it is a toll-paying attraction. In fact, it is the difference between far and near. USD10 yuan/person feels worthless and goes back to the top of the dam.

We stopped here on our way back to Las Vegas from the Grand Canyon West Canyon. Crossing the Colorado River, Hoover Dam is the largest dam in the United States, also known as the "Desert Drill". To watch the Hoover Dam carefully, you need to walk on the high Mike O" Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge (260 meters from the water surface). The bridge is an arch bridge across the Colorado River connecting Arizona and Nevada. The McO'Callahan-Patterterman Memorial Bridge is named after Nevada Governor McO'Callahan and local American football player Patterterman. The latter joined the Army from the Arizona Cardinals and died in Afghanistan. The Memorial Bridge is tall and steep. The wind is very strong that day. Standing on the bridge, it feels like being blown away by the wind.
