On our way to Zion from the Grand Canyon, we had to drive right by the Glen Canyon Dam. So being the enginerd that I am, I insisted that we stop at take a look. Sam might not want to admit it, but it wasn't THAT hard to convince him. The visitor's center was actually quite interesting, discussing the harmful impacts dam construction has on the environment, as well as the effects drought is having on the power production of the dams. If you're in the area, its worth a stop.

Wow..great photos!! Even more majestic than Hoover Dam, which is the only one in the U.S. I've ever visited.
