The Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park was nearly as impressive as the Yosemite Valley. John Muir tried valiantly to save it but lost that battle to a dam which was build to provide San Francisco with drinking water. It is still controversial today, with arguments that a dam could be built just a bit lower river and hold just as much water.
