Glen Canyon Dam, August 31, 2003

      On our way to Humphreys Peak, we drove North from Las Vegas, Nevada through Southern Utah.  After a short trip through Zion National Park, we crossed into Arizona and stopped at the Glen Canyon Dam.  The Glen Canyon Dam is upstream on the Colorado River from Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam, just South of the Utah Border.  The Glen Canyon Dam forms Lake Powell.  For more information, check out the Glen Canyon Dam web page.  Tours are available.
