Nevada 🇺🇸 Hoover Dam + A&W

#travelanywhere #usatrip ##hooverdam Where transformer shooting place. Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. Today the Hoover Dam controls the flooding of the Colorado River, irrigates to over 1,500,000 acres of land, and provides water to over 16,000,000 people. Lake Mead supports recreational activities and provides habitats to fish and wildlife. Power generated by the dam provides energy to power over 500,000 homes. Before heading there, pass by the A&W for some nice root beer float!

Ingenuity of human achievement: Hoover Dam

Located about 1 hour drive south east of Las Vegas is Hoover Dam. Security is tight at Hoover Dam as there are security checkpoints when you enter the area and you are required to stop your vehicle for security checks. The moment I saw this colossal structure, I was captivated by its engineering marvel. We parked the car at the carpark and got off to explore the dam. Walking along the dam and looking down its sides, I had trouble fathoming the enormity of the concrete walls. It’s a terribly high drop to the waters below and the ability of these concrete walls to hold back the entire expanse of Lake Mead is truly mind boggling. Hoover Dam is truly an ingenuity of human achievement. #WinHKFlight #winhkflight To me, Hong Kong is an eclectic mix of culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to ride the vintage ‘Dings Dings’, spend a day having fun in Ocean Park, visit the West Kowloon Cultural District and...so much more!

It’s on Fire 🔥

If you have only been on the look out for National Parks in the United States, maybe it is time to reconsider! Located about an hours drive from Las Vegas, Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park was truly a remarkable surprise during my trip to the States in December 24. I had stumbled upon this place after looking at my friend's Instagram post while in Las Vegas. While it was not initially in my planned itinerary, I decided to squeeze it in anyway as the photos were amazing. Boy, I was not disappointed as the place was truly as depicted in my friend's photos. The joy of accidentally stumbling onto such a beautiful place was a really memorable moment! #WinHKFlight #winhkflight To me, Hong Kong is a holiday destination that offers an eclectic mix of culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to view the skyline from Victoria Peak, trundle along and observe the city on the "Ding Ding", grab an afternoon tea at a local Char Chan Teng and...so much more!

Valley of Fire - love this place

I loved getting out of Las Vegas for some lovely scenery. It’s about an hour away and it feels like a different world to vegas! You can just drive through for a quick visit, or you can make a full day of it with some easy hiking. Sunset was a little challenging as the sun was easily getting blocked out at times and was very dark once completely down. I would advise forget sunset and make a great day of it instead! #Valleyoffire

Favourite day trip from Las Vegas

🔥 Valley of Fire is just one-hour drive from Las Vegas and is a worthy contender for a day trip out of Vegas. Valley of Fire is Nevada’s oldest and largest state park. The park is located around 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas. It is a massive park filled with red rocks made from Aztec sandstone. Thus, it gives the illusion that the area is on fire and that is where the name came from. Depending on weather conditions, you can plan a day hike of different available trails or just simple a drive through to see the famous attraction. ⚠️ Warning-it can get extremely hot in summer. #meetlasvegas #tripblazers

Seven Magic Mountains

Our visit to the 'Seven Magic Mountains' was a unique and inspiring journey through the Nevada desert. We enjoyed seeing this renowned art landmark, which consists of seven colorful and magnificent pillars adorned with charm and beauty. We explored the site and interacted with the large and fun art pieces. We enjoyed taking unique photos and creating beautiful memories at this special place. The bright colors and bold designs created an atmosphere full of creativity and vitality.

Valley of Fire State Park Visit

I had a wonderful visit to the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. Upon arrival, I was immediately struck by the stunning red rocks and unique collection of the area. I spent most of the day exploring various trails, including viewing ancient rock art by the indigenous people. I found a great spot for camping at night and enjoyed watching the stars set in the sky. After a relaxing meal around the fire, I slept amidst the breathtaking scenery of the sea valley. It was a unique and amazing experience in one of the most beautiful natural parks in the American West.

Hoover Dam

#usatravel #nevada During our road trip over the summer vacation, we had the chance to visit one of the most popular destinations in the United States: the Hoover Dam, located on the border between Nevada and Arizona. The Hoover Dam is a testament to early 20th-century engineering. This iconic structure not only provides vital water and power resources but also offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a significant piece of American history against the stunning backdrop of the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. When we arrived, we were immediately impressed by the size of the Hoover Dam. Standing at 726 feet tall and spanning 1,244 feet across the Black Canyon, it is both beautiful and gigantic. We took a walk across the top of the dam, and the little exercise rewarded us with a breathtaking view of Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States, and the Colorado River flowing below. Amid the hot temperatures of the Nevada summer, we found ourselves thoroughly enjoying our time at the Hoover Dam. We highly recommend that anyone traveling to Nevada visit this wonderful destination.

Renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone’s colorful large-scale, public artwork Seven Magic Mountains is an exhibition located in the desert outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring seven, 30 to 35-feet high dayglow totems comprised of painted, locally-sourced boulders. Visible across the desert landscape along Interstate 15, Seven Magic Mountains offers a creative critique of the simulacra of destinations like Las Vegas.

Hoover Dam

#losangeles Great DAM experience. You’re able to park in many locations to see the dam. A bit of a walk but good exercise. Lots of people there but still able to get photographs and videos.Lots of history and facts about the dam posted. Security was nice and helpful. Will be visiting again someday!Great views and amazing human ingenuity. It is free to drive across and to park in the parking lots

Transformers check-in location: Hoover Dam, a self-drive trip to celebrate the New Year

According to tradition, the whole month of January is the New Year. Hoover Dam, named after a president and a filming location for Transformers, is a place where every detail and screw of the dam is meticulously crafted, and most importantly, it's free to visit. Parking lots are set up along the road for everyone to enjoy the scenery, making it feel like a park. Hoover Dam is one of the most famous arch-gravity concrete dams in human history and also a world-renowned hydraulic engineering project. Many people actually learned about its existence through 'Transformers'. The Colorado River below Hoover Dam was once the deepest and most turbulent river in the United States. After the dam was built and the river was cut off, the water became slow and wide. The 5th photo is from a self-drive trip, providing some information for self-driving tours. Hoover Dam is located in the northwest of Arizona, on Interstate 93, about 40 kilometers southeast of Las Vegas. The dam site is at the border between Nevada and Arizona. Due to the one-hour time difference between Arizona and Nevada, there is a clock on each side of the dam to facilitate timekeeping for passersby. Hoover Dam is taller than the Three Gorges Dam (185 meters) and has a larger submerged area than the Three Gorges Reservoir, but its power generation capacity is only 1/20th of that of the Three Gorges. This is because the flow of the Colorado River is very small, only 1/50th of that of the Yangtze River.
