Yosemite's Secret Valley - Hetch Hetchy
In the northwest corner of Yosemite National Park you can find the Hetch Hetchy Valley. This is a place considered by John Muir to be equal in beauty to Yosemite Valley. Then in 1913 legislation was passed to build the O'Shaughnessy dam in the valley to provide water to the city of San Francisco and the valley was buried under 300 feet of water.
Despite the addition of the reservoir almost a 100 years ago, Hetch Hetchy remains a beautiful part of Yosemite and has several fantastic hikes, including the Wapama Falls trail. Maybe even more appealing, Hetch Hetchy is normally far less crowded than the rest of the park, with the National Park Service estimating that less than 1% of the visitors to Yosemite travel to Hetch Hetchy. You don't even need a reservation to visit Hetch Hetchy, unlike the rest of Yosemite.
In this video we take a look at Hetch Hetchy, discuss its history, and talk about things to do when visiting.
