Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area




  1. The above three photos are of the Hoover Dam. The top one is of the top of the dam, the 2nd one is further down. The third one is the water coming out of the dam which appears to be green.

    Also, while I was there staying in Las Vegas and seeing shows like La Reve (which is great by the way) I also visited Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area. The panoramic photo I took below of one of the places I parked there.

  1.  Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area -...

    Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, located 20 miles west of Las Vegas off State Highway 159, allows visitors to hike, picnic and view plant and animal life ...
The last photo here is a view of the Colorado River which leads into the Hoover Dam. If you drive across the bridge you go from either Nevada into Arizona or Arizona into Nevada.
This last  photo is a freeway bypass of the Hoover dam down river of the Dam because they plan to eventually demolish this dam because it is getting old and they don't want the dam to break and flood everyone downstream at once and kill them all. So, this freeway is a bypass of the dam once it is gone.

So, literally if the San Andreas movie ever happened in real life before they demolish this dam it really would be bad news for everyone downstream of the dam.
