We discovered the patio of the San Francisco's mayor's residence overlooking the lake and ate our picnic lunch with this million-dollar view. The bust is of Mr. O'Shaughnessy, the engineer who built the dam.
 
Views of Tuolumne river pools and white water rapids on the ride back
 
The mountain dogwood and boggy meadows were in full bloom
 
 
On the second day, we did a 5-mile hike from O'Shaughnessy Dam to Wapama Falls.
This is one of several ephemeral falls seen from the trail.

We went rock hopping to get close to the base of Wapama Falls. Talk about a rush!! Another view of Tueeulala Falls
