Hetch Hetchy


Restoration project is a environmental reclamation that would be an incredible engineering achievement. Hetch Hetchy Dam (not sure of the actual dam name)and valley was flooded for a reservoir that is now 400 ft deep. It is part of Yosemite National Park and the idea of the project is to drain the res to go back to the original and natural landscape.

My brief acquaintance is from a PBS documentary highlighting the area but I want to go in person...it looks visually stunning and serene simultaneously...

Anyway, if you happen to be in the Yosemite area, you might want to check it out.
