Dam built between 1956 and 1966 that is 215 m high and almost 500 m long in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
Built between 1956 and 1966, it is 215 m high and almost 500 m long. While the width of the top is only 7.50 m, the base is almost 100 m wide. The road does not cross the dam, but rather a spectacular bridge over the river. Nearby, the Carl Hayden Visitor Center is an informative stop. A superb model of the site is on display, and guided tours of the site are organized daily. These were suspended in winter 2023, but are set to resume depending on the decision of the local authorities.
