We spent an afternoon last week hiking to Wapama Falls at Hetch Hetchy. We had done a good deal of research on the Park and since our accomodations were at Evergreen Lodge it was a good way to spend our first day in Yosemite. Our first impressions of the Reservoir/Valley were of awe.. Neither my wife, myself or 23 yo... More

This is just my opinion but we had spent about 6 hours exploring Yosemite (and loving it) and we decided to do the extra drive to Hetchy Hetch.

The day was beautiful and no one else was there. This was ugh better than when we visited in September. More
