Glen Canyon Dam is the second highest concrete-arch dam in the United States, second only to Hoover Dam. It forms Lake Powell, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the U.S. with a capacity of more than 25 million acre-feet (31 km3). This place is worth a visit, you can walk through the bridge that is in front of the the dam. This bridge provides you the Panoramic view of the Dam. There is a small slit in the center of bridge fence, which provides you an opportunity to see and take pictures. This valley is gigantic.

Impressive historical marvel of engineering. Note that currently the Ranger staff are not giving any damn dam tours (see photo). This seems to be a favorite stop for tourists from out-of-country. When we were visiting, we were the only ones there (that we could hear) speaking English with an American accent besides the staff behind the desk. Welcome to all our friends from around the world! We met a very lovely French family while checking out the relief map of the dam and Lake Powell.

Glen Canyon Dam is the 2nd largest Dam in the U.S. It wasn't too crowded and tickets can be purchased inside for a tour. I’ve never done the tour. You can walk the bridge for free and overlook the Dam between the canyon. There are areas on the bridge walkway to take photos without the fence ruining the photos!! The Dam holds up the water level of this area. It's arched and beautiful. You can see amazing views and take home gifts.

The Glen Canyon Dam Bridge is one of the highest bridges in America at 700 feet above the river. It was the highest arch bridge in the world when it was completed in 1959. The bridge has an overall length of 1,271 feet. Its a beautiful area, and the bridge and canyon make for some incredible photo opportunities. Nice lookout center on one side, with parking and the town of Page, AZ is very close on the other side.

Nice spot to stretch your legs en route to Grand Canyon or the other way to Zion National. The dam is massive, and you get a breathtaking view of the Colorado River below. There is a museum nearby as well. It's a fun spot to learn, take a break, and admire the scenery around Lake Powell.

Pleasantly surprised at the Glen Canyon Dam visitor center! It was like a small museum, but free entry. Lots of great visuals and a kiddie area for the kids to earn their junior ranger badges. The gift shop was large, and had quite the selection of items. We spent about an hour here.
