Just as beautiful as ever! I started school in Page in 1960. My dad was an electrician so we lived there until 1967. I have wonderful memories of the area, but, watching was bittersweet for me because, the last time I was there in the '90's was with my husband. He died in March of this year.
One thing for sure, the Men that built that Dam and carved through the rock back in the day were some hard working ,tough dudes.
Yep and Fearless, Scares me just watchin Russ' filming!
No OSHA, no EPA
Not pansies
In 2018 I worked as a custodian for park service and cleaned that visitor center every morning. Dozens of tarantula hawks flying around the bushes up front. Glad you didn’t run into any.
I love this guy in his walkthrough tours he sounds like the perfect Grandpa and I absolutely like his giggle keep on RVing
Great day for viewing some beautiful sights. Thanks for taking me along. The colors of the water was great. Stay safe and happy adventuring
I feel honored to have driven over the dam, before the bridge was completed, it was slow going but now seeing it locked down it was a treat. Thank you Russ
Really neat dam, and bridge. Heck of a big lake. Really nice videography, so clear. Enjoyed, thanks. 😊👍
Just beautiful. The landscape colors are incredible. Thanks Russ ! Stay safe
Thanks for facing the elements (100+ degrees) to get these videos. Glad I was on the virtual side for this day.
My thought was that your camera did a nice job at the bridge. I liked it. Thanks!
Russ, should have walked out on the bridge, they have holes built in the fence that you can take unobstructed views from. It is also fun when a semi or large vehicle drives across on how much the bridge bounces. Great video
Exactly what I thinked on , when I was there in March before covid ! The view in the middle of the bridge through holes fence is absolutely awesome 👍
Beautiful video......living in the east this is like another planet..thanks. .
Dams are such a building marvel. I love electricity.
David M I guess you don’t like electricity or buy produce like fruits and veggies. You might want to learn what a dam is all about.
WENT TO THE SOUTH RIM GRAND CANYON BIBLICAL!!! AMAZING AWESOME BREATH TAKING WONDERFUL!!!! EVERY ONE MUST SEE!!
The quality and clarity of your videos is second to none. great job.
When we were there in 2000. We drove down a tunnel to get to the bottom of the dam, where our whitewater raft was waiting.
you went down in a bus...no whitewater rafting there..float trip started there and you were bused back..did it a few years back
@@joemanpjg + In 2000. We all met at a Hotel outside of the Grand Canyon gate. Got on a bus and rode al the way to the Dam. Rode the bus down that tunnel to the rafts and rode the bus back to the hotel. FACTS Have pictures to Prove it.
Great video Russ! 😊 Love watching your videos on Roku TV 😊
Yet another beautiful stop, Russ; thank you. What gorgeous country!
The only time I crossed the Glen Canyon Bridge was in 1964. I was 10, and my folks took a spring break, to see my Grandmother in El Mirage AZ. They were still working on the Glenn Canyon dam then. I missed a week of 4th grade classes.
Hi Russ
Wow! That dam was huge! I cant imagine what was involved in the construction of it! Another great video! Yay!!!! Thank you. Be safe, see you next time.
Terrific tour of the dam and Lake Powell. Thanks Russ!
Bridge is amazing. I saw it in 1997
Another awesome stop on our virtual 2020 vacation. I really enjoyed it. Thank you Russ for the excellent videos and trip tour. Stay safe. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan
Your Videos are outstanding and I love my trips with YOU SIR. Love AZ & NV. Strayed 10 nights and 11 days at Laughlin, NV many times and the sunsets are out of this World.
video is crisp!!!!! looks like its not too crowded.....wonderful time to go
Lake Powell created by the Glen Canyon Dam in 1966,. The second largest man-made lake in the United States. Provides over 2000 miles of coastline. Thanks Russ .....
Sure has changed a lot since the 1990''s in the lake Launch area.. thanks for sharing
WOW that bridge, what an amazing engineering masterpiece.
When I was in my 20's I used to skydive and never thought anything of it. .. Looking down from the top of that Dam gave me the "willies".....whew!...Good video, Thanks Russ
Good morning Russ, Thanks for braving the heat to show us Lake Powell area. We were there and stayed at the resort back in '07 the water level was way down back then, looks good now. The RV park looks like the only place with trees, not any shade out on the lake. Be Safe. See You Soon!
Excellent....... another free ride but don’t have to feel the heat...... safe travels Russ.
I was there in 1986 and we could drive across the Dam. Nice to see this area and all the changes.
Hi Russ, do you have a video tour of your rig? It would be interesting to see the layout and amenities (toilet/shower/kitchen/bed, etc.). Do you have air-con?
I miss the desert. Grew up in rainy Vancouver so I tend to go to hot sunny places a lot. Never really spent time in Arizona but that stretch of I-15 in Arizona is amazing
That was great. I love this trip you are taking. Thanks for showing us around that area of 89 and Paige.
The water is such a beautiful color blue it even looks so clean.
Hey Russ, it was awesome running into you, we're hitting some of your other places you've been, my wife has shared this video with everyone 😀 safe travels my friend.
Dave from Missouri
The colors are natural picture postcard perfect!
Was in page last year. That drive from page to Zion is beautiful drive
Aloha Russ I camped there about 50 yrs ago and the one thing I remember is not a shade tree in sight
Just fanastic thanks for showing us this dam it’s just beautiful here
Hey Russ, enjoyed the video of the Glen Canyon dam
Missed your live chat Sunday.
Be safe an enjoy the travels.
Larry& Linda
Took a cruise on Lake Powell and camped at a Page campground on our way to the Grand Canyon. We stayed in cabins on the North Rim of the Canyon...
This was September of 1992......weather was perfect.....
THANKS
All the water & all the Eletricity 👍
Thank you for the journey to Lake Powell. The sky and the water were gorgeous, to bad it was so hit there. Hope you are in cooler weather soon. We are supposed to cool off to high 90s instead of over 100 here in west central Nevada for the next few days.
It does not cool down here until October.
Thanks for all the cool videos.. I will have to visit that area at some point
Keep the videos coming love watching
your videos are such a pleasure to watch. I live in Indiana but have driven through a lot of Arizona although not in the area where you were filming horseshoe bend and lake Powell . My wife and I love the west and have driven through New Mexico,Arizona ,Utah and Nevada During the last twenty five years or so. I’m sure lots of people just like us think it would be a wonderful to travel through the west the way you are doing.
Just keep it up and enjoy life the way you are
Thank you for taking the time and tolerating the heat at Lake Powell I have "priceless" memories from there and appreciate your efforts beyond words.
Sincerely from central California.
goodness, that bridge is something else!!! Thank you for that view :)
I was just there this evening (7/20). It was more overcast which helped with the heat
During my tour inside that dam (1993), there was an interesting exhibit which demonstrated the electromagnetism that is all around you. There was a tin cylinder with no top or bottom lid that was mounted on thin metal pin. It was painted in 'barber's pole red and white inclined strips. And the fascinating thing was, it was spinning all by itself indicating how much electromagnetism was surrounding you. Hence the warning earlier on in the tour that anyone with a heart pacer device should NOT go any further inside the dam.
Is that similar to the newer Japanese trains that are held up by a certain force?
@@bacino2552 I don't think so.
Skyfacer could you feel it in the air? I think some people can sense electromagnetic frequencies better than others.
@@nickdubesa8068 I don't think I did. But the whole experience was fascinating.
Came through there after 911, they were really guarding every thing. Was reading where the lake came up 55 ft this spring.
Very Beautiful and stunning I love the bridge the rocks are pretty as well. ❤❤❤
What an incredible location!
Been across the Glen Canyon bridge many times. Why didn't I stop but will next time - ha!!! Wonderful video. Thank You Russ ⭐⭐⭐
Amazing construction. Thanks Russ
There were some brave guys putting in those anchor points on that wall for that bridge.
I watched my daughters friends dog last week, they went to Lake Powell for 6 days, Wednesday to Tuesday, with all their family and friends, they rented a house boat, when I saw those two house boats I looked at the picture of the one they rented that she sent me in a text message. The one they rented was bigger and cost them just over $11,000. Can you believe that? crazy.
Beautiful views Couldn’t ask for any better this is wonderful good job
Back in the day, there was two way traffic across the top of the dam; passenger side of a semi was not a comforting thing...
I think you're talking about Hoover Dam in NV.
YAY, we get to go on vacation, pandemic or no!!!
I can't even imagine what it took to build that bridge up so high.
The best part is riding on the river to the mouth of the Grand Canyon.
Thanks Russ great tour to the dam
Thanks for visiting Glen Canyon Nation rec center!
Great video Russ . I have never been to Lake Powell ,really neat .👍👍😍👏. Take care , See Ya ..✌
I bet Glen Canyon Dam would look awesome at night. From that big red rock on the right as you was leaving.
Thanks for the tour !
Very cool Russ!😎
more vital info for my trip ... great video, thank you very much
They "pulled-the-plug" on the Navajo Power Plant last year.
Wow! Had planned on going before covid. After looking at the bridge I’ll change my mind.
Great video again Russ, thanks for the memories.
Thanks for the beautiful ride Russ.
Thank you so much for all you do. It's like traveling with an awesome friend or relative who wants to make sure you get to see everything along the way. Your videos are such sharp images, and appreciate your wonderful narrations. So many UA-cam tell you almost nothing in the way of useful data, and also appreciate you keep your narrative free of foul language.
That is beautiful!!! Russ my wife had a vacation planned to be there right now and we canceled but thank you so much for showing us what we are missing right now. We appreciate what you are doing right for us. We are sad beyond all belief not being in AZ right now but we are safer at home.
Thanks what you are doing my friend!!! Travel safe and keep up the great work.
Just now seeing this video, 11 months behind but enjoying it nonetheless. Thank you!
Like the turbans at the visitor centre......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good job on the video Russ. I remember the conservation ppl who apposed the construction of that dam back in (70's) college. Now there's an explosion of invasive quasi mussels in the water. So sad.
Wanna guess where the Quasi mussels originate from?
Those two guys were definitely NOT members of the Screen Actors Guild.
If you're into boating and spending time on the water then Lake Powell looks to be a great destination point. Drink plenty of fluids (since you're driving, I recommend water) to help compensate for that extreme heat, Russ. Stay safe.
Thank you for the upload you gave some good insight to the park. I feel a bit more comfortable taking a trip there now.👍
Carl Hayden was one of the original senators from Arizona when it became a state in 1912. When I was in high school (in the 60s), Carl Hayden was still in office! In his 90s. Just another useless trivia fact. 8^)
Keep up the good work!
I was sweating just looking at that sun and desert.
We always had our vacations in July when husband company shut down so we were there in the heat of summer lol s beautiful place
I would have been in Page last week as well. Great video.
Your awesome russ
Love your videos for us that can't travel
4:24The far left side, we were coming back from Paige Az and a car crashed through the barrier and the fence, the fence got tangled up under the car and the car was facing straight down, the 3 or 4 guys had to tell whereas you can imagine were not moving or talking, the tow truck got there and was able to get a hook on it and tow it back up. This happened somewhere in the late 70 or early 80's. I bet those guys will never forget it. If you stood on the bridge and look straight down your knees will buckle.
Great vid Russ. Havagudun my friend.
Can't believe how low the water is. Wow!!! The sand there is snow white when I was there over 40 yrs.ago.
.... you’re good!
Was hoping be shopping at custom skateboard maker out in Navajo region. Dead pawn! Quick shout out to ACME bread.. think Easter from same reservation!
Have fun
Motor on up ahead!
Hermoso lugar. Gracias
I put a towel on the dash too I got some polyester pillow cases I put on my lap so my legs didn't sun burned
Russ are you taking any dam questions
Beautiful! Be safe.
Bet it was nice having some cloud cover out there.
There ya go Russ! yay!
