. American forestry. Forests and forestry. THE HETCH-HETCHY VALLEY 265 Hetch-Hetchy Valley, the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne, and the Tuo- lumne Meadows are in Tuolumne Basin. Ex- cepting only the Yosemite Valley, the Tuolumne Basin is the finer and larger half of the park. Practically all of the Tuolumne Basin drains di- rectly into Hetch-Hetchy Valley, which is a won- derfully exact counter- part of the great Yosem- ite, not only in its crystal river, sublime clififs and waterfalls, but in the gar- dens, groves, and mead- ows of its flowery park- like floor. This park-like floor is especially adapted for pleasure camping, and is the focus of all the trails from both the north and the south which lead into and through this magnificent campground. The floor of the Hetch- Hetchy Valley is about three and one-half miles long and from one-fourth to one-half mile wide. The lower portion is mostly a level meadow about a mile long, with the trees restricted to the sides and partially sep- arated from the upper forested portion by a low bar of glacier - polished granite, across which the river breaks in rapids. Standing boldly out from the south wall is a strikingly picturesque rock called "Kolana" by the Indians, the outermost of a group 2, 300 feet high corresponding with the Cathedral Rocks of Yosemite, both in relative position and form. On the opposite side of the valley facing Kolana there is a counter- part of the El Capitan of Yosemite rising sheer and plain to a height of 1, 800 feet, and over its massive brow- flows a stream which makes the most graceful fall I have ever seen.
