Although the Grand Canyon Dam is not as large and famous as the Hoover Dam, it is also a particularly spectacular attraction. The scenery around the dam is particularly good. Although the self-driving car stopped here for a while, the beautiful scenery still impressed us.

The Grand Canyon Dam, located in Arizona, was built in 1956 and used to generate electricity in addition to water storage. The visitor center is one of the best to see the Grand Canyon, and the parking lot at the entrance square is free.
Arizona. The Glen Dam in Lake Powell, a dam that stopped the Colorado River and formed Lake Powell, the dam fell more than Hoover, very spectacular. There is a parking lot and a passenger center on the dam, and the passenger center has free bathrooms and souvenir shops.
Located on the Colorado River in the western United States, after the Hoover Dam. The second largest artificial lake in the United States is a famous water engineering tourist attraction in the United States. Fortunately to meet it!
This is mainly to and from Horseshoe Bay, Antelope Valley. There is a tourist service center on the dam, you can book tickets to visit the dam. If you don't want to spend money, you can also go around the dam to take pictures. But personally think that the surrounding Glen Canyon viewing spots, several viewing spots in Lake Powell have time to play is also very good.
The waiters are very professional, the action is neat and simple, and the customer experience is very good 👍
Gran Canyon Dam (Glen Canyon Dam) A reinforced concrete arched dam on the North Colorado River in Arizona, USA. The dam regulates water flow and provides hydroelectric power in the upper Colorado River. The reservoir it formed is Lake Powell, the second largest artificial freshwater lake in the United States, overlooking the red-orange Colorado Plateau as a warm jasmine. The completion of the Grand Dam gave birth to Lake Powell and designated the starting point for the Grand Canyon. The shoreline is more than 1,900 miles long, and the natural canyons along the Colorado River form a strange view of hundreds of canyons. Lake Powell has a maximum capacity of 30 km3 and is the second largest reservoir in the United States. The reservoir is named after explorer John Wesley Powell. Lake Powell is a famous tourist attraction in the western United States.
The overlooking point of Glen Dam is free, which is really friendly in the United States. The bus stops on the side of the road, there is a dedicated parking area, and we can get off the bus. There is a platform where you can see the Colorado River flowing quietly, and the other side sees the dam standing in the middle of the river. After watching the dam, you can go to the dam and get a different perspective.
