We saw this on the way to The Grand Canyon. Probably worth doing the tour which we did not do. Worth seeing but not a repeatable trip. It is holding up well given its age.

It’s a dam. It’s big, but honestly, if you’ve seen one dam... Maybe go in the morning or evening when the light is nicer. I went in the middle of the day and it’s pretty ho-hum.

Over commercialised, costs you money to visit - not worth it.

Only got to see it from a viewing bridge with our tour. Try to get down to the dam to walk across.
