The upper forested part of Hetch'Hetchy Valley is charmingly diversified with groves of the large and picturesque California 

 live oak, and the noble yellow pine, which here atlains a height of more than two hundred feet, growing well apart in 

 small groves or singly, allowing each tree to be seen in all its beauty and grandeur. Bencaih ihcm spreads a sumptuous 

 fern carpet." -JOHN MUIR.
