点评:The Hetch Hetchy dam and reservoir isn't as glamorous as Yosemite valley, but it still turned out to be a pleasant morning's visit. At the far northwest corner of the national park over the winding Evergreen Road, the HHR takes some effort to get to. We drove there on a Thursday morning, and almost had the place to ourselves for the first hour or two. There's a a one-way loop around the area, and a good-sized parking lot close to the dam itself. It's okay to walk on top of the arch dam itself, and there are display panels there about its history. It provides a great view out over the reservoir itself. Note the bridge-arch beneath the dam top which is part of the spillway path.
At the far (north) end of the dam is a tunnel blasted through solid rock. There are weak lights strung along within, so it's not quite as dark inside as you might think. The floor of the floor of the tunnel is fairly even, though not smooth. Emerging from the tunnel, one find the start of a walking trail.
Along the main road loop, there are other parking areas, as well as public restrooms. The long twisting access road along the mountainside provides some fine views over the valley downstream of the dam.

在大坝最远的(北)端是一条穿过坚硬岩石的隧道。隧道内有微弱的灯光,所以里面没有你想象的那么暗。隧道地面相当平坦,但并不光滑。从隧道出来,你会发现一条步行道的起点。
沿着主干道环路,还有其他停车区以及公共卫生间。沿着山腰蜿蜒曲折的长路可以欣赏到大坝下游山谷的美景。
