Dams, spillways and overflows

Ten dams worth a detour, from Hoover Dam in Black Canyon to the stepped stone spillway of New Croton Dam and the Glory Hole at Monticello Dam in Napa County, which only pours after a wet winter. Ladybower and Pontsticill have bellmouth overflows of their own: go after heavy rain.
