Glen Canyon Dam

What a beautiful dam and visitor center located near Page, AZ.  It created Lake Powell and is the 2nd largest man-made lake in the country.  This dam was started in 1956 but not completed until 1966.

We parked at the visitor center and walked out onto the overlook at the dam, then crossed over the dam and back again on the walkways provided.  There are slits in the fencing along both sides of the walkways to allow many great photo opportunities.

Once you are finished walking the dam and wandering the visitor area, you can then go hiking along the overlooks including horseshoe bend….but that will be another blog…
