Hoover Dam Panorama

We didn't do much more than go to Hoover Dam today. It was a pretty short trip too, we didn't go on the tour or anything so we didn't even walk over to the Welcome Center.
Hoover Dam looks impressive, but it seems more impressive in photos than it does in person. I'm sure I would've been more impressed with the history of how the dam was built than anything. It was a lot shorter across than I expected, although it is pretty tall up. Considering the dam was built over 80 years ago, it is a pretty decent engineering feat.
What I didn't expect is the amount of people all over the place. It seemed cars and people share the road on top of the dam. No buses or trucks are allowed over on the dam, but it's probably a good thing because you have to watch out for people walking out in front of your car.
The picture is a vertical panorama that I cropped because I had a lot of the concrete barrier on the bottom. Ever since yesterday I started messing around with panoramas, they're actually pretty fun to take so you might see more of them from my pictures.
Tomorrow is my last day in Vegas and then I head home with what may be very little sleep in the evening.
