Glen Canyon Dam

Behold the union of human brilliance and Mother Nature’s grandeur as you step into the realm of Glen Canyon Dam.

Completed in 1966, the Glen Canyon Dam reaches an impressive height of 710 feet and stretches over 1,500 feet across the Colorado River. As you approach the dam, its immense scale commands attention, harmoniously blending into the surrounding canyon walls. The stunning views from the dam’s observation points provide a unique perspective, capturing the vastness of the dam and the contrasting beauty of the rugged canyon.

The creation of Lake Powell behind the dam has transformed the landscape, offering an enchanting contrast between the serene waters and the towering red cliffs of the canyon. The resulting reservoir stretches over 180 miles and provides ample opportunities for boating, fishing, and water sports, drawing adventure seekers and water enthusiasts from around the world.

For an immersive experience, take a guided tour of the dam and its inner workings. Learn about the engineering marvels that went into its construction and the importance of its contribution to water management and power generation in the region. Surrounding the Glen Canyon Dam, the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area offers a plethora of outdoor activities. Explore the countless side canyons, hike scenic trails, or camp beneath the star-studded desert sky, experiencing the tranquility and majesty of this remarkable natural wonderland.
