An evening view of the "upstream" side of the Hoover Dam, showing just how low Lake Mead has gotten after several years of drought in the Southwestern U.S. The impressive new Mike O'Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge (U.S. Highway 93) can be seen spanning the canyon behind the dam.
A wide perspective on the Hoover Dam, and the old highway which used to take vehicles across the top of the dam. This was taken from the new U.S. Highway 93 bridge which now bypasses the dam. The dirty bathtub ring of Lake Mead, which has been affected by years of drought, can be seen behind the dam.
