Description
Hoover Dam, once known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the US states of Arizona and Nevada. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. The dam was controversially named after President Herbert Hoover.

We have driven many times over this highway but I have to say that you have really captured the essence of the dam. Wonderful job, Mark! Love it! This is the best shot when the water is low that I have ever seen. Great job! f/l
