Steve,
I live 7 miles from Shasta Dam. I used to go over to Hoover Dam when I lived in Southern Calif. That was way back when I was a young brat and would drive all over the country just to look around. That is why I am so familiar with Death Valley. I love going off to places off the tourist path and just looking around. Same here. I can go up to Lassen Park and spend all day in the forrest and not see another person if I want. And if I was still in really good shape, I could still climb up the trail to the peak. Now I know why we were having a hard time understanding what each other was talking about so far as the dams are concerned. I was talking about Shasta and you were talking about Hoover. But down inside they are much the same so far as taking the tours. Hoover is much taller. Shasta has the highest spillway.
