Day 2 Well, we were planning to go out on the boat and go to the gorge just past Needles, CA. However, the river level was too low. We went to the Avi Casino Resort for a great breakfast and decided that today would instead go to the Hoover Dam. After a long ride through some mountains and countryside we got to Boulder City and ran into lots of traffic. Then we saw the dam. Wow!
