The view of the dam from the visitors' center overlook on the Nevada side.

Looking straight down at the dam from the overlook. Looking way down to the buildings with the generators. These towers were built at an angle on purpose to facilitate bringing - the wires up from the generating station and then across country. From Hoover Dam we drove to Kingman, Arizona, where we spent the night. - ------------- - Wednesday, October 12 - From Kingman we headed east on Historic U.S. Route 66.  This is - Hackberry, Arizona.  We were through here years ago and a hippie guy - lived here, groovin' on Route 66. There was no one around this morning. We left Route 66 here and got on eastbound I-40.
Larry, at the Grand Canyon, of course! Enjoy the views! You can see the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon.
We took a very short walk down the beginning of the Bright Angel Trail. With our friend Chuck, who was with us for part of this vacation. You can see the trail ahead of us on the left and then further down the canyon.
