Glen Canyon

Page, AZ

We toured the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River at Page, AZ. This shot was taken from the dam itself, looking at the canyon and downriver. The bridge connects AZ and Utah.

Glen Canyon Dam construction began in 1956. The dam began blocking the flow of the Colorado river in 1963 and was dedicated in 1966.

The Glen Canyon Dam bridge is 1271 ft long and about 700 feet over the Colorado River. The bridge was completed in 1964.

Those are boats on the bottom left. Rides are offered down the river.

Against such a colossal background the tiny boats add impact! Lovely view.

Fantastic shot, has so much. A great combination of both nature's architecture and that of man. VOTE!
