I was about 20 when my father and I went on a trip from TX to Vegas and we drove the DAM. I thought that place was awesome than and since I have watched the documentary about the building of the Hoover, I would just love to go on a tour. I remember my father telling me about truckers scraping the mtn as they went around the corner, showed me the scrape marks on the rock...lol I bet some ole times could tell us about that....

Condo Cruiser thanks for the pics. America at work.
Sheepdog I am just joking with you! I was lucky enough to drive over the Boulder dam a few times in a big rig. It was great! Only problems were the oncoming RV"rs in the curves. Other then that smooth sailing.SheepDog Thanks this. -
Shortly after 9/11/2001, they started dis-allowing trucks and other commercial traffic over the dam. The Feds went berserk, and thought every structure in the US was a target for destruction. While a nice scenic drive, it was a pain in the butt with a 53' trailer and on weekends it was a cluster.

I remember when we used to drive across it.

If you ran Vegas out of the southwest, crossing Hoover Dam on US 93 was a way of life until 9/11. And it was a royal pain in the Heinaman. As a matter of fact until US 93 was widened between Phoenix and Kingman, it was all narrow, winding two lane. I don't think anyone who ran the route misses having to deal with the Dam.
Joetro and ShortBusKid Thank this.
