Above the famous Napa Valley, lies the Monticello Dam, which has created Lake Berryessa. Instead of the usual sub-surface spillway, it has a massive concrete pipe sticking up out of the surface of the lake behind the dam.

When the water level gets high enough, it starts draining down the pipe, known as the Morning Glory Spillway or, less formally, the "Glory Hole." Then it becomes a disturbing A huge, sucking hole in the water.







Monticello Dam
The dam is notable for its classic, uncontrolled morning glory spillway with a rate of 48,400 cubic feet per second (1370 m³/s) and a diameter at the lip of 72 feet (22 m). The eerie appearance of the spillway in operation attracts visitors.
