During a trip to Las Vegas, we took a day and drove out to Hoover Dam. We signed up for a tour, which included a mini documentary and a guided trip down to see the inner workings of the dam. Very educational - we saw one of the greatest American engineering marvels from the Great Depression era, all designed from pen and pencil and built by man. The dam was constructed under budget and ahead of schedule too!#hooverdam #american #engineeringmarvel

Iconic piece of infrastructure. Truly amazing to see the scale of this project and see it up close. The surrounding landscape is neat too.

Amazing engineering. Nice view from top of the dam and over the bridge (Nevada to Arizona). Roads were amazing. Feel like we’re just floating. Well maintained. Took four years to finish the construction of the dam. Would recommend this place.
