Happy Times at Hetch Hetchy

In the northwest corner of Yosemite National Park there is a valley that John Muir described as “a wonderfully exact counterpart of the great Yosemite." The Hetch Hetchy Valley has changed of course since the times of John Muir and was dammed in 1923 and today a large blue reservoir covers the valley.The trail around the reservoir provides impressive views and waterfalls. We visited on a beautiful Jun-uary weekend.
