PG&E's Helms Pumped Storage facility is located in the far-flung corners of Fresno County, where all paved roads end and vast tracts of Sierra National Forest begin.
This impressive facility involves two lakes at different elevations, and a powerhouse imbedded in a massive rock mountain.
The dorm-like lodgings are nested below dramatic rocky outcrops.
