We have a pod of 3 separate couples (plus us). We golf, dine in and out together, separately with each couple. After a while you decide the level of risk you are taking and who you can trust to be in your inner circle/pod.

FYI, Hoover Dam is currently CLOSED due to pandemic. I wish (as does my family) I had known this before I drove there last weekend. :crash::bawl:
Can you still park and walk across the pedestrian bridge for a great view of the dam? Is it just the tours that are closed?

Thanks to Karen G and WVBaker!!!
We used your links to Viator and booked a Grand Canyon tour and a Red Rock Canyon tour. Seems like Viator can be used to book guided tours all over the world. The TUGGER community is fantastic.

No, road to the Dam is closed at security post, pedestrian access to Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman bridge walkway is closed. You can't see a thing. Ask my kids, they are still reminding me of the wasted 2 hours. :(

I took my kids years ago when it was open and they still remind me of the wasted 2 hours. They just wanted to be back at the pool.

I just heard on the radio that the dam is open again for all outdoor areas. No tours or visitor center, but you can walk across the pedestrian bridge.
