Mulholland Dam and Hollywood Reservoir.
Mulholland Dam was built in the early 1920’s in the hills above the Hollywood section of Los Angeles by the LA Department of Water Supply(now the DWP). It was the first concrete built by the city(the second we’ll get to in a bit). I’ve been planning to hike to the dam from the back of the lake, but discovered that there’s a road(with parking) that leads to the top of the dam on it’s eastern side. So last Friday, with a hour or so to kill, I headed up to the dam.
