In Moccasin you'll see an old power plant--and a nearby upgraded facility still very much in operation. You'll see the massive water pipes that drop from the top of Priest Grade to the turbines below. These turbines continue to generate electricity to distant San Francisco and other bay area communities. The water comes deep from the Sierra including a piece of Yosemite Park.
