Hoover Dam
Ever wondered just how people built the Hoover Dam back in the 1930s? You’ll find out (and learn a whole lot more) as this tour takes you to that awe-inspiring feat of engineering.

While you cruise toward the dam, you’ll get familiar with the rationale behind the dam, the imposing figures in charge of its construction like Frank Crowe and the Six Companies, and really dig into the nitty gritty of the dam’s creation—the good, the bad, and the ugly.
