One of the monuments honoring the men who built Hoover Dam. Everyone was touching this statue's feet.  We never thought to take - a picture of it, so we don't now recall what the rest of it looked like! On the tour, deep into the bowels of the dam. Hydroelectric generators 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.
The cranes up high are starting on a bypass bridge to take the highway off the dam's top. This is a model they had of the future bridge. The view you see looking down from the top center of the dam. Now back on the Arizona side, looking across the dam toward the visitors' center.
