Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park was described by John Muir as "one of nature's rarest and most precious mountain temples" and was once considered one of the most unique and diverse ecosystems in the world.  However, in 1913 the city of San Francisco won Congressional approval to dam and flood Hetch Hetchy, thus burying this extraordinary valley under 300 feet of water.  Spreck Rosekrans is the Executive Director at Restore Hetch Hetchy and is leading the fight to bring back what was once lost.    Links from the Episode: Restore Hetch Hetchy Restore Hetch Hetchy's Instagram Restore Hetch Hetchy's Plan for Restoration Sierra Club Raker Act President Theodore Roosevelt in Yosemite National Park The National Parks: America's Best Idea Series Calaveras Reservoir DamNation Film Glines Canyon Dam Removal in Olympic National Park National Parks - The Great Disaster   Links from the Host: Adventures in National Parks, Forests & Wild Places Facebook Group Adventure Bound on Instagram Rob's YouTube Channel Support Rob on Patreon
