Thank you!

Nice video. I had a picnic drank a beer and then took a piss in the same spot as Hemingway, to the left of the tunnel opening. It was quite a refreshing hike in the summer heat.

Barbara Aspengen it’s pictures.

You're very welcome!

Thanks for commenting! Enjoy the hike, or should I say walk.

Thank you - greetings from Utah! We would build more dams if we had as much flowing water as the Alps do, and less environmentalists that do not want the dams built. I guess we have a balance here.

@@BackRoadsWest1 Not just so-called environmentalists but fisherman as well. The devastation to the native fish stocks in the Pacific NW has been ridiculous. Environmentalist isn't a bad word, not all of us drive nails into trees to inure loggers or chain ourselves to trees to stop them from being harvested. In fact loggers, fisherman, hunters, etc are some of the biggest advocates for preserving our wild-spaces, we're out here everyday, the outdoors is our livelihood and we are the last people that want to see it destroyed. Like you said it's finding a balance and it's a really crucial time since we have a president who cares not one bit about the environment and thinks it's okay to open a mine in our national monument areas.

Tony Lee I ride my Harley through there all the time!

Jason Wilson I actually think that there is an old train at the bottom of lake meide I think that when the dam was built I think when they were extracting equipment a train derailed

banzi 1942 - That would make for an interesting dive.. Who knows in 20 yrs or so.. may not even having to dive for..::)

We would love to visit Grand Coulee and have heard of the laser show. With Hoover, that's what happens when you have a tourist-crazed destination, aka Las Vegas, close by. It's a long long drive to get to Grand Coulee for most people.

Did you just go? Is the trail still open? Or closed because of covid? Please reply quick! I want to go today. Thanx!

Thanks for the update!

Didn't you hear? They're going to desalinate ocean water and then pump it up to Lake Powell. all of it will be powered with coal fired generators.

Absolutely! I think we write somewhere "suitable for baby strollers". So if those wheeled carts can make it, so can you. When we hiked it, it was very clear of debris.

Hi Greg. No, there are no golf carts for rent on either end. You can ride a bike though and I'm sure they'd allow electric scooters or wheelchairs. There are some steep parts and stairs close to the dam.

See the full article that explains the trail at www.backroadswest.com/blog/hoover-dam-railroad-tunnel-trail/

Thanks found it

About 3.5 miles one-way. Those would be damn miles in the heat...

Absolutely! I wish I had my bike with me, because if I did, I could have covered more of the various trails.

Well, that's just simple Google Maps in terrain mode. The second map is a picture of one of the National Park signs fixed up in Photoshop.

@@BackRoadsWest1 Thank You so Much!

Bike friendly

Thanks for the corrections David. Yes, I can't stand most videos either where it's all about the person talking into the camera. We're watching the video to see the scenery and not vain person creating it. Plus, many videos don't show or say where they are.

Do you mean Nicola tesla

Coal and oil fill the coffers of the wealthy: anyone who tried to interfere with their monopolies would be dealt with, and that right soon.

With all the other equipment near by, it definitely does not spoil the landscape. It's more like a museum.

Lake was low due to intake construction. Water for Calif. comes out of Lake Havasu - 2 lakes down river.

From extensive studies done after the dam and lake was built, it turns out the hydrologic information used to plan this project and divide up the water just happen to be an unusual higher than average rain deposition. Studying tree ring growth in the Colorado River basin in Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico rainfall in this area is much less than what was believed to occur.

Thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately, before and after construction of the bridge, many guides, maps and signs refer to it also as the bypass bridge.

Well then, why don't you spend all your time and effort to shoot a video and put in some music of your choosing. Let me know when you have it posted on KZfaq so that I can tell you how you should have done it differently.
