Hoover Dam - An American Achievement
The Hoover Dam, also known as Boulder Dam, is a 726-foot-tall concrete dam that spans the Colorado River at the Arizona-Nevada state border. 1244 feet wide and 660 feet thick at its base, the mammoth Hoover Dam was originally begun in 1931 and completed in 1935, two years ahead of schedule. (Production had been sped up considerably to provide additional jobs during the economic downturn of America's Great Depression.) The dam is named for Herbert Hoover, who played an instrumental role in its construction, then President of the United States.
Today Hoover Dam generates massive hydroelectric power on a daily basis, thanks to the entire flow of the powerful Colorado River passing through its seventeen turbine generators. Hoover Dam receives from 8 to 10 million people each year and amazes visitors with its elegant Art Deco exteriors, sculptured turrets and clock faces that tell both Nevada and Arizona (or Pacific and Mountain zone time, respectively).
Stars and Stripes Air Tours has flown more than 140,000 satisfied customers, and their impeccable safety record follows strict FAA guidelines in both maintenance and safety.
