Yosemite -- Hetch Hetchy

On our last day, driving out through the NW part of Yosemite, we drove to see the Hetch Hetchy Valley, a parallel valley to Yosemite.

After the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, the city managed to get the US Government to allow the valley to be dammed to provide water and electricity for the city.


The resulting reservoir is eight miles long.
