- The Sun is shining and that means time to explore new places. We start this trip in Wenatchee, Washington. The drive takes us about one hour and fifty minutes to travel 96.9 miles north and east of our starting point. It's a magnificent road trip taking us through mountains, plateaus, and valleys.
Banks lake is the lake we follow to along the highway which is a 27 mile long fresh water reservoir, and part of the Columbia Basin Project, the lake occupies the northern portion of the Grand Coulee.
Below are facts about the dam from the Department of The Interior/ Bureau of Reclamation website.
I hope you enjoy the video, Hit like at the bottom and leave us comment below if you would like.
This is a must see trip if you are ever in Central Washington State.
Grand Coulee Dam Facts and Stats:
Grand Coulee Dam is the largest hydropower producer in the United States, generating more than 21 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. That’s enough power to supply 4.2 million households with electricity for one year. Power from Grand Coulee Dam is supplied to eleven western states (WA, OR, ID, MT, WY, CO, CA, NV, NM, UT, AZ) and Canada.
Grand Coulee Dam is one of the largest concrete structures in the world. It contains nearly 12 million cubic yards of concrete.
What could you build with 12 million cubic yards of concrete?
You could build a sidewalk four feet wide and four inches thick and wrap it twice around the equator (50,000 miles). You could build a highway from Seattle, Washington to Miami, Florida. You could build the Grand Coulee Dam, one of the modern wonders of the world.

Hello. Brazilian greetings. I really liked your video, I saw the Grand Coulee region in the American Truck Simulator simulator. Now seeing the real video of the place, it's fascinating. Congratulations on the video. 👏🏻👏🏻
Crazy to think that at one point there was thousands of feet of water running through that valley system. Thanks for the beautiful footage :D
