What an amazing feat to corral the Colorado River with the Glenn Canyon Dam which helped create the massive Lake Powell. All types of water play and sport are experienced on the lake. The Dam has a great museum and tour. We camped at Lone Rock on the beach.
This photo of photos is of Page AZ early on before and during the building of Glenn Canyon Dam. The lower one is how Page looks most recently.
This bridge was already here before the dam was built and it is 700 feet above the water and spans 1028 feet and is 30 feet wide. In 1956 the survey to build the dam was completed.
This is excess water release and one of the turbines on display on the dam walkway.
