Hoover Dam

We were forced to drive the across I-40 instead of the originally planned I-70 route to get to Las Vegas.  The detour was mainly caused by a snow storm that hit the night before we planned to leave.  We later learned that I-70 was closed due to an avalanche that buried the road in about 15 feet of snow.  Because of the detour, we drove through Flaggstaff, AZ and ended up crossing the Hoover Dam to get to Vegas.  This is the view of the dam from the east side before we crossed.  We got a good view of the new bridge begin built as well.  Should be fun once it's finished!
