John Muir called Yosemite's Hetch Hetchy Valley "One of Nature's rarest and most precious mountain temples" before the O'Shaughnessy Dam flooded this spot with over 300 feet of water. Muir is often referred to as the father of our national parks and credited with significant contributions to the preservation of America's natural beauty. Many national park enthusiasts find it fitting that John Muir's birthday is the same week as Earth Day (and National Park Week). John Muir and his efforts suppor

California Travel & Guides on Instagram: "📍Hetch Hetchy | Details👇 Hetch Hetchy Yosemite National Park Hetch Hetchy is often called “Yosemite’s little sister” because of its similar but smaller scale beauty compared to Yosemite Valley. The valley shares many of the same stunning natural features, including granite cliffs, waterfalls, and scenic vistas.

Jessie Dickson🌱 on Instagram: "Hetch Hetchy was the original public land grab in the United States. Even tho no one talks about it. It’s time to finally free Hetch Hetchy from the O’Shaughnessy Dam and allow these rivers at Yosemite National Park to flow free again. Like they did for thousands of years before colonization. And this is possible. The Klamath dam removal project has showed the world dam removal works. And river restoration saves the environment fast, because water is life.

Dawn Marie Dunlap on Instagram: "Have you heard of Yosemite Valley’s long lost twin? The Hetch Hetchy area was considered an equal to Yosemite Valley in natural beauty, but this valley was flooded a century ago to construct the O’Shaughnessy Dam. Between 1908 and 1913, Congress debated whether to make a water resource available or preserve this wilderness area when the growing city of San Francisco, California proposed building a dam in the Hetch Hetchy Valley to provide a steady water supply.
