HOLLYWOOD RESERVOIR / MULHOLLAND DAM

A 4-point-something mile walk around the Hollywood Reservoir and crossing over the Mulholland Dam is an easy stretch of the legs to give one a little exercise. The views of the Hollywood Hills that surround the reservoir are breathtaking and a natural serene location directly next to the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles. William and I have made this easy trek around the reservoir many times, yet it remains as beautiful as the first. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + William Mulholland (September 11, 1855 – July 22, 1935) was an Irish American self-taught civil engineer who was responsible for building the infrastructure to provide a water supply that allowed Los Angeles to grow into the largest city in California. As the head of a predecessor to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Mulholland designed and supervised the building of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, a 233-mile-long (375 km) system to move water from Owens Valley to the San Fernando Valley. The creation and operation of the aqueduct led to the disputes known as the California Water Wars. In March 1928, Mulholland's career came to an end when the St. Francis Dam failed just over 12 hours after he and his assistant gave it a safety inspection.
