The Glen Canyon Dam

This morning we carpooled to the Glen Canyon Dam for a guided tour.

Below is a view of the bridge over the Colorado River from the top of the Dam.



Listening to our guide, Nikki, tell us about the building of the dam and how the water from Lake Powell is sent down the Colorado River.
