Between jagged walls of dark volcanic rock, the pale concrete face of the dam curves across the canyon; at its foot the two wings of the powerhouse line the river, and green water runs away down the gorge, while the blue reservoir reaches back into the hills above the crest. The arch-gravity dam, 221 metres high, was built between 1931 and 1936 on the Colorado River at the border of Nevada and Arizona.
