Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam is one of the most iconic landmarks in the United States and a must-visit destination for travelers and photographers. Located within Black Canyon, immediately above the Colorado River, the dam was built to power the region, creating jobs and electricity for nearby communities. The structure itself is a feat of engineering and design, featuring classic, art-deco influenced architecture. A visit to the dam is an unforgettable experience, providing visitors with a glimpse of the human ingenuity and resourcefulness, both of which were required to create this monumental construction. Visitors may view the dam from the banks of the Colorado River, but the best views can be found on top of the dam itself, or from the John Sourk’s Memorial Bridge, located a short drive upstream. The Hoover Dam is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the western United States and a perfect addition to any photographer’s bucket list.
