Day 33 - Hetch Hetchy and our first view of Yosemite

We drove about 40 miles into the park to the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. This was a sister valey to Yosemite until it was converted to a giant reservoir for San Fransisco after the devastating earth quake of 1906.

After Hetch Hetchy we drove to the tunnel view of Yosemite Valley. Needless to say it was one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen.
