Our route to the Grand Canyon crossed the Colorado River at Glen Canyon Dam, one of the last major dams built in the country. Comparable in size to Hoover Dam, it forms Lake
Powell, a resevoir that supplies water to 4 states in the upper Colorado basin. I remember reading a book on its construction in college. We stopped at a couple overlooks & the main visitor center. The last overlook on the way out of town was the best. From it, both bridge & dam were visible between the canyon walls.
