Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon
Here are the pictures we took when we ventured off the strip for a day. We rented a car and drove to the Hoover Dam and then on to Red Rock Canyon. The Hoover Dam was so impressive especially since it was built in 1937. They were also in the process of building a bypass bridge. This was super cool since you could see it in the process. We drove over the dam which was neat.





Here is Matt standing on the Nevada side of the dam.

Behind us you can see the bypass bridge that is being built.
We visited Red Rock Canyons after the Hoover Dam. There was a 13 mile drive that took you through the park. We had wanted to do some hiking, but were not prepared for the crazy weather. There were some serious winds and we were not dressed properly. Still it was beautiful to see.
