HOOVER DAM, ORIGINALLY NAMED "BOULDER DAM" AND
LAKE MEAD WATER IMPOUNDMENT.

VISITING HERE SHOULD BE AN ULTIMATE GOAL
OF ALL UNITED STATES TRAVELERS...I'VE BEEN
THERE TWICE, SO FAR, AND IS ONE OF MY
FAVORITE DESTINATIONS......STRADDLES THE
NEVADA/ARIZONA BORDER JUST A FEW MILES
FROM LAS VEGAS, NV...HAVEN'T BEEN THERE
SINCE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW BRIDGE,
BUT PLAN TO REMEDY THAT...MAYBE THIS YEAR ....:mrgreen:

The Dam is 35 miles south of Las Vegas on U.S. 93. To reach Hoover Dam, take Interstate 15 south to I-215 east.

Take NV SR 172 for about 2 miles to the Dam on the Nevada/Arizona border.

Note: Visitors who wish to continue travel into Arizona must re-enter Nevada and access Highway 93 to cross the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge; the roadway across Hoover Dam is no longer open to through-traffic.

HEART Loc: God's Country - COLORADO

Dang, Silverhawk - you've been busy!! Thanks for the post. Never been to the dam but the tour(s) made it entertaining and educational.

silverhawk Loc: Born a West Virginian, Living in Virginia

Thanks for the kind response....do you think
I should do a post on "Cripple Creek, CO"??.....
been there, too!!...great little town..
stayed there during an elk hunting trip in '95...
so it's been awhile..
and, also have been on top of "Pike's Peak" and rode the "cog railroad" back down.....:thumbup: :thumbup:

HEART Loc: God's Country - COLORADO

I don't gamble, but enjoy the town. The region has a lot of options, including the nearby town of Victor - which had some interesting views on a trip there last summer (below).

Maybe combine 'Pike's Peak & Cripple Creek'?

Enjoy your informative posts!

silverhawk Loc: Born a West Virginian, Living in Virginia

Thanks again for the response....I started a new
post "Towns with Donkeys~~" where I entered
info. for Cripple Creek, CO and Oatman, AZ.....both
have donkeys and very interesting places to visit.... :thumbup: :thumbup:

Worked at the bridge during the construction. Lots of mountain climbing.

choppbobby Loc: Yakima, Washington

Our daughter and her family moved to near Austin,Texas in 2004, and we used to drive there from here, which is Yakima, Washington.
We drove there for 5 years until we got tired of the drive and expense and started to fly to Austin.
We drove there before the new Interstate bridge opened, and we were able to see the construction from almost the start, but we have not seen the new bridge.
I remember that Homeland Security had road blocks at each end of the road over Hoover Dam where they would check for potential terrorists threats.
Somewhere I have some pics of some of our visits to the Dam.I'll see if I can find them and post them.
