Admission includedStanding at the crest of Hoover Dam, the sheer drop into Black Canyon stops you in your tracks. The concrete curves away beneath your feet, and the Colorado River, tamed into stillness, stretches behind you as Lake Mead. Hoover Dam is both monument and machine, a working powerplant that has hummed steadily since the 1930s. The scale is difficult to absorb until you are truly standing inside it.
