The Overflow Stream above the Tuolumne River

This picture shows water streaming through the floodgates of the O'Shaughnessy Dam. There is an upthrown section of granite in this area. The rushing water, on the near side of the granite, is part of the spillway that empties the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir.
