感觉到了火星,却异常干净,仿佛置身在变形金刚的拍摄现场。老公说比不上国内的水坝规模大,但是觉得就是干净,精细,由于是晚上,我们只是在坝子上兜了一圈就开回拉斯了。
The new bridge that was built so that travelers don't have to go over Hoover Dam anymore is great and it saves a lot of time! No stopping and waiting for traffic. No twisty and curvy road. It is straight and fast! It also has a good view of the dam and Lake Mead behind it. It is definitely a place to visit at least once. I have been across it quite a few time.
We drove out to Hoover Dam from Vegas and it took maybe 40 minutes. The drive was scenic and took you passed Lake Mead. The bypass where Nevada/Arizona meets is great and so is the bridge that provides you a view of the Dam itself.We didn't go on a tour but walked around and took in the sights. Parking was $10.
This was well worth the short drive away from the split, there was plenty of things to see on the trip out to the dam. This a site that you truly need to see if your planning on visiting Vegas, I was amazed at the architect.
So much more impressive in person. Driving over the dam and hearing about what an incredible engineering feet is was makes it that much more significant. There aren't a lot of places to stop on the way in, so make sure to have your camera ready! On the other side of the dam there is a gift shop and a parking lot from which you can take some decent pics. A must see!
We were short on time, so we drove around and did not pull into the visitor center. It said $10 to park, but we pulled into lookout areas without paying anything. Must see. Next time we will take the tour as the history is amazing. Before you get to the Hoover dam, there is a parking area to walk the bridge over the damn. Amazing, but not for the faint of heart.
Great man made sight..nice to see it on the way to Grand Canyon. if you have time you can enter the museum for a fee.. But must passing thru it is a sight to behold .
The hoover dam bypass is a nice improvement as the thru traffic no longer must travel over Hoover Dam to get to and from Arizona/Nevada. You can walk across the bridge from the Nevada side. It gives you a breathtaking view of the face of Hoover Dam. The small parking area (to access the bridge) is free and has bathrooms and wheelchair access to the bridge. Not sure how wide the bridge is but it is quite a walk from one side to the other. It was worth the stop and is a nice getaway from the Vegas go go go action.
胡佛大坝可说真是人类奇迹,把径流不亚于长江的科罗拉多河拦腰截断,据说这里如果溃堤,那整个洛杉矶会成为水乡泽国。很伟大的建筑,值得来看看。安检比较严格,会堵车,从拉斯维加斯开到这里用了接近2个小时
First time over the bypass since it opened. Having taken the old Hoover Dam route before this was a breeze getting to Las Vegas. On the way back we stopped at Hoover Dam and checked it out, then headed to the bypass's visitor area, where you can hike up to the bridge's sidewalk where you can see the dam and Lake Meade. It was free so it was great! :) (You do have to pay for the Hoover Dam tour if you want though, but you don't have to pay just to walk out on the dam itself).
