48. Take the Hoover Dam tour.

I completely forgot that this was on my list!!! But while the fam was in town visiting we did the Hoover Dam tour and it was bad ass!!!

I know you can see it from air planes, and you can see the size when you drive over it, but not until we got out and were walking around can you really take in the magnitude of it, it's absolutley incredible just how gargantuan the thing is.

Apparently, with all the concrete that was used, a 4 foot sidewalk around the earths equator could be built

and it would go around FOUR TIMES!!!!

The Dam was completed in 1936, right at the height of the art deco-movement, and you can really see the era while you're walking around in the visitor area and even when you're deep underground. All over the place is beautiful, shining, polished brass fixtures and railings, and any where with inscriptions or directions is done in this beautiful early 20th century font.

My uncle flipping the switch for a staircase that has more than 770 steps!!!!! It was so big that you couldn't see the top or the bottum!!

Walking around in some of the tunnels, Jace was a little cramped. I guess the dam workers in the 1920's and 1930's wern't quite 6'4!!!

But I had more then enough clearance room over head!!!
