Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located near Page, Arizona, Glen Canyon Dam is a large dam built between 1956 and 1966 on the Colorado River. Lake Powell was the result of the dam, but it took 17 years for the lake to completely fill. The dam regulates the flow of the river and also provides energy with its eight hydroelectric generators.

When the Glen Canyon Dam Bridge was completed in 1959 it was the highest arch bridge in the world: it is adjacent to the dam and is a steel arch bridge across the Colorado River. Visitors can take tours of the dam: these tours start at the Carl B. Hayden Visitor Center.
