HOOVER DAM AND LAKE MEAD
A spectacular view of the world's highest dam with Fortification
Mountain in the background. This mighty wedge of concrete at
the throat of Black Canyon now harnesses the once, treacherous
Colorado River and forms the world's largest man-made lake.
Dam's height 727 ft. above bed rock, crest 1,244 ft. and 650
ft. thick at the base.
