Yes they still have dam tours by the dam tour guides to answer any of your dam questions
Yes, some people also get to the Hoover Dam via taxi, but I am unsure about any other ways of transport.
St. Thomas Nevada is one example.
built betweeen 1931 and 1936 by the us bareau of reclamation of the colorado river between nevada and arizona. the hoover dam was one of the major public works projects of the great deppression and new deal era.
Yes, you can take pictures of Hoover Dam. There are designated viewpoints and areas where visitors can capture photos of the dam and its surroundings. However, be mindful of any restrictions on photography in certain areas for safety and security reasons. Overall, it's a popular spot for photography due to its impressive architecture and scenic backdrop.
The Hoover dam has two spillways, one on the Nevada side and one on the Arizona side. The spillways are located 27 feet below the top of the dam, one on each side of the dam. Any water getting up that high will go into the spillways. There are "Drum Gates" in the spillways, but these are actually there to allow more water to be stored behind the dam. When they are raised they can allow an additional sixteen feet of level to be stored behind the dam. The spillways have only been needed twice in Hoover Dams history. The first time was in 1941 to test the system. The second time was in 1983 for an actual flood.
There is no credible evidence to suggest that there is a secret base inside Hoover Dam. The dam is primarily a hydroelectric power facility and a tourist attraction, and while it has various security measures in place, any claims of a hidden base are often rooted in conspiracy theories rather than verified information. The U.S. government does conduct operations related to national security in various locations, but Hoover Dam is not known to be one of them.
