Glen Canyon Dam is the 4th highest dam in the United States. Construction began in 1956 to provide hydroelectricity and regulate the flow from the upper Colorado River Basin to the lower area. Lake Powell Reservoir was created as a result.

Sam, the bus driver, was waiting for his passengers to return. Born in Cambodia, his parents brought him to San Francisco when Sam was only 3 years old. His job gives him a chance to travel to Nevada, Arizona and Utah.
Page named after Reclamation Commissioner, John C. Page is land acquired in a trade with Navajo Nation. It began as a home for the hundreds of construction workers who built Glen Canyon Dam.
