On our way to St. George, UT for Kyle's first triathalon we went right by Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Page, AZ. We have been by there several times, but we just decided right then "hey, lets go in and take a look!" So we went to the visitors center and took the 45 min tour of the Glen Canyon Dam.
55 stories down the elevator (that was the kids favorite part) were these huge machines that convert the water to power.
We walked over the top of the dam where I took this picture of the beginning of Lake Powell. It is an awesome to see this reservoir in the middle of this huge desert canyon.
This is how huge the turbines are in the dam. The kids really enjoyed this spontaneous stop, and it was a great time to get out and run around on our 6 hour trip. I will have details on Kyle's race later today.
