The Mike O'Callaghan Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge Bridgewalk is exactly that a grand stage suspended in the sky, where earth, water, and human ambition collide in spectacular fashion. If you've been behind the wheel for miles, stiff and road-worn, this is your invitation to rise, stretch, and stride into something unforgettable. The walk itself is a gift clean, open, and built for those who don't just want to see a place, but feel it under their boots. Step by step, the desert air sharpens, the horizon widens, and suddenly... there it is. Below you, the Hoover Dam not just seen, but revealed. From this vantage point, it transforms. No longer something you stand upon, but something you behold. A monument of willpower carved into canyon walls, holding back the restless Colorado River like a titan at rest. And then, the drop. Second highest bridge in the United States, they say and whether you came for facts or for feeling, the height delivers both. Standing nearly 900 feet above the canyon floor, this engineering marvel stretches 1,900 feet across Black Canyon, a sweeping concrete arc that feels almost too elegant for its own strength. Completed in 2010, it carries the weight of modern travel while quietly offering one of the most extravagant views in the American Southwest. Now let's talk scenery because this is where the experience transcends. To one side, the fading bathtub ring of Lake Mead tells a story of time, of thirst, of a changing world. To the other, the canyon walls rise in layers of sunburnt stone bronze, rust, and gold like pages in a history book written by wind and water. And above it all, the sky... endless, unapologetic, and vast beyond reason. It's the kind of place that makes you pause mid-step, lean into the railing, and just exist for a moment. A quiet line of poetry seems to write itself out there: Between sky and stone I stand, Where silence speaks and shadows span, A river held by human hand, Yet time still writes a greater plan. And here's the truth being up here might just outshine standing on the dam itself. Because from the bridge, you don't just witness a structure... you witness the story. The scale. The consequence. The beauty. This isn't just a walk. It's a front-row seat to grandeur.

It has a great view of Hoover Dam and you can walk across it, but you then get halfway and then come back unless you plan to walk to Arizona on the other side of the bridge. There's a plaque at one end explaining background of the bridge, like date of construction and who it's named after. Parking is down in the main lot, so you need to walk a little ways to the bridge. I think they built this bridge so traffic and trucks that might hold a big bomb wouldn't drive across the top of the dam. That used to be the only way to get across to the other side. There's all the touristy stuff, like a little place to get food and gifts near the parking lot. You can go walk across the actual dam and I think there's tours of the inside where the power plant is if you want to do that. THis place including walking the bridge and walking around the dam is well worth it. It's not too long a drive from central Las Vegas.

It sounded so awesome... it's a significantly important spot where the two teams of railroad track builders met and completed their mission! Alana and I set out to find The Last Spike. We followed the Yelp directions and walked from Las Vegas Boulevard to the railroad track, across and south of the Seven Magic Mountains. We were unable to find the marker. However, I found some loose, rusty spikes. Alana explained that they are dislodged with the vibration of the trains on the tracks...wow! Anyway, using Google maps, Alana found the informational sign across from where The Last Spike should be. It's on the same side of the road as Seven Magic Mountains and south of it. Hopefully, you'll be able to find it if you decide to take a look. It's an interesting piece of history !

It was on a recent Monday that I played the tourist at the Nevada Welcome Center on the way to a…read morehiking adventure. As it turns out, I would leave here with resourceful knowledge of the state parks and a new trailhead connecting to miles of Boulder City outdoor adventure. Throughout the years, I have explored Boulder City's parks and attractions. When I drove on US 93, I had been curious about this Nevada Welcome Center that sits off Nevada Way. After seeing so much of Boulder City, it was about time to check out the state welcome center. Although this is a Nevada Welcome Center, it is owned and managed by the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority. With that said it is a visitor center serving Nevada, Boulder City, and Las Vegas. This is one of the four Nevada Centers in Southern Nevada. From the perspective of a reviewer discussing the Visitor Center proper & adjacent hikes, it is best to separate the review into two sections 1: Visitor Center Proper and 2: Trailhead 1: Visitor Center Proper. Before touching on the facility, it is important to note that it has two major flaws. The first flaw is that it is closed on weekends when US 93 is flooded with drivers. The second flaw is that it sits on the opposite side of the US 93 traffic entering the state line. The Visitor Center is a long building parallel to a long parking lot that can handle a lot of vehicles including busses. It reminds me of a concession stand at a drive-in parking lot. The first thing that is noticeable is the "Welcome to Nevada" sign. This is a nice photo spot for a state sign pic. At the opposite end are clean rest rooms. The Visitor Center itself is in the center. It is essentially one room with a floor to ceiling window overlooking Lake Mead, a desk, "This is Boulder City" computer, and two walls of travel brochures. These 11 racks of brochures are the focal point of the Center. The racks feature brochures on the State of Nevada, cupouns, tours, shopping, recreation, parks, entertainment, and attractions. These brochures include directories of local malls, state parks as far north as Ely, and national parks. Over and above the brochures, one of the two knowledgeable and friendly women here made this an enjoyable learning experience as she answered my questions while I loaded up on brochures. Where the Visitor Center looks like a drive-in parking lot from the front, in the back it is a spectacular property that overlooks a dramatic vista of Lake Mead from a hill. Nearby are two banks of shaded picnic tables. This includes 16 shaded picnic tables to the right of the building. A few of them overlook Lake Mead. This is the only spot that I know of where you can enjoy a picnic overlooking Lake Mead off southbound US 93. Adjacent to the picnic tables is a short mult use trail that tunnels under US 93 to the River Mountains Loop Trail (RMLT). This will segue into the second part of my review. 2: As a Trailhead It is the additional role of a trailhead that I am giving it 4 stars. It connects to miles and miles of trails without crossing a major road thanks to the fact that it tunnels under US 93. Due to the Yelp character limit, I will brief. Here are some hikes that the short trail leads to: 1. Hemmingway Valley Park (short distance) 2. Red & Black Mountain via RMLT to River Mountain Trail. (moderate distance) 3. Teddy Bear Cholla Forest via RMLT (long) 4. Railroad Tunnel Trail via RMLT (long) 5. Bootleg Canyon via RMLT (long) 6. Boulder Beach via RMLT (long) & 7. Miles of hiking & biking on RMLT. There is more hiking opportunities when you exit the center and turn right onto Nevada Way. This is the hiking I did from here. A nice relatively hike up the Nevada Way hill rewarded me with a first-rate Lake Mead view from the high up Boulder City overlook. This was the prequel to hours of hiking. Just up the hill from the Visitor Center there are trails that lead into the wilderness of the Boulder City backcountry. This is where I spent around 4 hours enjoying the serenity and beauty of nature. The nice thing about using the Visitor Center as a trailhead is the parking lot. There was a perception that my vehicle was safe here. In conclusion I rate the Nevada Visitor Center 4 Stars. It does a great job serving as both a resource for the State and local parks and attractions and as a trailhead to miles and hours of Boulder City outdoor adventures.

They are the shadows cast by the realities of the soul." -- Oskar J.W. Hansen in 1928 This is an awesome Landmark at Hoover Dam in Boulder City, Nevada... When you visit Hoover Dam, one of the Engineering Wonders of the World, you can't help but notice this magnificent masterpiece! To me, The Winged Figures of the Republic looks like two gigantic angels guarding our American Flag and reaching up to the Heavens - like a bridge between Earth and upwards - connecting us with the Universe! In the 1930's, a sculptor named Oskar J.W. Hansen entered a contest and his design won! He was born in Norway, immigrated to the USA, became a citizen, entered the US Army, retired, and became a well-known Artist and Sculptor. His Winged Figures of The Republic are made from over 4 tons of bronze. The two figures - with wings measuring more than 30 feet tall - sit on black diorite - all of these were lifted by cranes and set on blocks of ice so that everything could be adjusted precisely as the ice melted. What a creative and smart way to construct this unique Public Artwork! In front of the 14-story (142 feet) flagpole is a mosaic floor depicting the constellation in the sky. It's a map of where the planets and stars were when President Franklin Roosevelt dedicated Hoover Dam on September 30, 1935. Tip: remember to rub the golden toes of the Winged Figures for Good Luck! And listen to the informative, inspirational recording that's playing while you browse around these sculptures!

This gorgeous landmark is the work of Norwegian-born, naturalized American Oskar J.W. Hansen. Perched on the north (Nevada) side of the Dam, you'll find two angel like, 30ish feet high winged figures with a 140+ flag pole. The bronze figures have a nice green patina after 85 years of weather and, at their base, black diorite (an igneous rock). Don't forget the tradition of rubbing the toes of the Winged Figures! The flagpole also has a black diorite base has the engraving "It is fitting that the flag of our country should fly here in honor of those men who, inspired by a vision of lonely lands made fruitful, conceived this great work, and of those others whose genius and labor made that vision a reality." I love the statues as well the grandiose backdrop of beige rock, which gives an epic vision of just how difficult it was to carve out this area. Near that, you'll find a monument dedicated to the 95 workers who died constructing Hoover Dam. There is sound: Speakers give a narration about the Dam and the Winged Creatures. Also check out the terrazzo floor, which includes a celestial map and star chart. Winged Figures of the Republic is a stunning, grandiose, and fitting tribute to one of the U.S.A.'s greatest man-made achievements.
