Helicopter Ride over Hoover Dam
It is called the Best Dam Ride by the Dam Helicopter Company in Boulder City, Nevada. The helicopter flies 500 feet above the Hoover Dam and the new bypass bridge and the view is awesome. I sat in the front seat next to the Pilot and not only did I have a great front view, I also could look down at the glass bottom floor and see the view.
It was interesting to see the walking trails that once were used by the railroad to bring in all the building supplies to build the Hoover Dam. Lake Mead looked beautiful with the many boats docked in the slips.
The workers at Dam Helicopter were very helpful, courteous and very welcoming. Operation hours: 8:00am to 3:30pm, 7 days a week including Holidays. Call the heliport at 702 294-2200
