Hetch Hetchy Reservoir (3)


I took a walk across O'Shaughnessy Dam.

Historical kiosks tell the story of Hetch Hetchy Valley.

The Hetch Hetchy Reservoir was (and still remains) controversial.



How do we balance preservation & conservation
of our wilderness with public use & consumption?



I explored the north side of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir.


A tunnel at the end of the dam leads to a trail.


There are two waterfalls: Tucculala Falls & Wapama Falls.



Tucculala
was dry.




Water levels are lowest in summer and fall.
