Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam form the 2nd largest reservoir in the US.
The Hoover Dam & Lake Mead are more famous because they are ranked #1.
Hoover dam is higher (726 ft to Glen Canyon Dam's 583 ft above the river)
Glen Canyon is wider (1560 ft to Hoover Dam's 1244 ft)
Hoover Dam's relative proximity to Las Vegas may also help to get more tourist visitors.
