Carl Hayden Visitor Center at Glen Canyon Dam - Page, Arizona

The Glen Canyon Dam blocks the Colorado River and forms Lake Powell. Lake Powell is the largest man-made lake in North America. When the lake is full, it has the capacity to hold 9,000,000,000,000 gallons of water. The Glen Canyon Dam visitor center is on the west side of the dam, and has good exhibits on the history and workings of this massive dam. 45 minute tours of the dam are provided by the Glen Canyon Natural History Assocation and cost only $5.00. There are discounts for children and seniors.
