On our way to Lake Mead (Day 2 of our Nevada/Arizona/California Desert Trip), we stopped by the world famous Hoover Dam, which is actually pretty impressive in person. Located about 45 minutes from Las Vegas, it divides the Colorado River between Arizona and Nevada. The architecture, history, and importance of the dam is incredible. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal until I paid it a visit, so if you’re on the fence on adding the site to your vacation itinerary, I would say it’s worth a stop if you’re in the area!
