Last weekend we took a drive down to see the new Hoover Dam Bridge. It is amazing!You may have seen our earlier blog post about the Hoover Dam Bridge. This is the second tallest bridge in the US.
We had to battle the crowds a bit but we had a great time. It took about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Mesquite NV for us to drive to the to the loading area to see the Hoover Dam Bridge. We took highway 169 through Logandale and Overton and then followed Lake Mead around instead of going on I-15 into Las Vegas and then over to Lake Mead.
Due to it being the grand opening they were not yet allowing cars to drive across the bridge. We had to park at one of the marinas and then they bused everyone up to the bridge. We laughed when they had to check our bags for parachutes! We had a good time visiting on the bus. They bused us to the far side of the bridge (Arizona side) and then let us out. We then walked across Hover Dam Bridge to the other side. 
Along the way there were ladders to get back and forth across the barricades. From the pedestrian side you can see how high up the Hoover Dam Bridge really is. There were bottles or water provided every 100 feet and tents were set up that had information about the Hoover Dam Bridge.
Upon making it across the Hoover Dam Bridge we re-boarded a bus that took us back to the parking lot. It was a memorable event!
