It is slightly downstream of the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, approximately 6km south of Page. Accessible via a 1.2km hike from US Route 89, it can be seen from the steep cliff above. According to Google's terrain maps, the view is 4,200 feet above sea level and the Colorado River is 3,200 feet above sea level, making it a breathtaking 1,000-foot drop.

There is a guided tour of the dam, unlike most other dams. You enter the tour by going down to the top of the dam. Then go down through the dam and see the Colorado River and finally the generator room.
