Hetch Hetchy - We went into to northwestern part of Yosemite called Hetch Hetchy. This area has a dam across the Tuolumne River creating a huge reservoir, supplying San Francisco with water. We were planning to take a hike to Rancheria Falls, passing three waterfalls along the way. However, when we got to the trailhead, we found out that the 6.7 mile distance we read on the hike description was one-way, not round trip. So, rather than a 13 mile hike (ouch!), we went out to Wapama Falls, only a 5 mile round trip. The falls were beautiful and powerful. The trail went right to the base of the falls and several bridges went across thru the mist.
