Very nice view on the Colorado River and Lake Powell from the bridge: there are small windows in the fence on both sides to take pictures. Interesting visitor center closing early 4.45 pm! After 10 years of drought, the power capacity of the dam is presently at 58% only! Save water! Visit the inside of the dam if you are... More

This is certainly a worthwhile place to visit when you are in the area of Page, Arizona. The rangers and staff who man the visitor center are very friendly and helpful; except the armed security guards. If at all possible, I suggest you avoid taking to them because you'll be sparing yourself of an unpleasant experience. Apparently, the pressures of... More

If you have a choice between this dam and the Hoover Dam, I would see this one. I have been to both and for 5.00, this is a great tour.
