What's inside The Hoover Dam?

Going DEEP into a World Wonder of Engineering. INCREDIBLE! See Underneath the Lincoln Memorial: • What's Under the Linco...
Where else should we go in a National Park? Let us know! Also let your senators know that they should continue to support the parks through funding the backlog of Maintenance.
Thanks to the Department of the Interior for giving us this amazing opportunity, it truly was amazing to see this incredible structure that was built in 1930's.

If anyone hasn't been there they are truly missing one of the MOST amazing structures ever made by man. It will blow your mind how big that room is. Just think of the imagination, design skill, engineering and pure manpower it took to create the dam.

You basically went on the exact same tour the general public went on back in the late 1960’s, and yes, we could look out the vents about halfway back up. Back then they called it Boulder Dam, the other buildings on top besides the two elevator towers, are 2 two story public restrooms. If memory serves, there is a great view from the upper level. This brought back great memories for me.

[@fredgarvin4482]

That would have been nice. I guess back when the public could he trusted better. It has been called Hoover Dam for a long time though.

This is true, I was there in 1966 and we went into all if these spots. Below the penstock. We actually parked on the road back then. I guess they don't allow that anymore.

I am amazed by the network of tunnels and all of the massive machinery inside. The thing is when you see footage of the dam being constructed it looks very much like it is solid from base to top? Obviously the amount of planning and thought all of the way through the project was immense. Would love to see some of the finer detail like that and the way they went about it.
