This center is a 5-10 minute walk from the shuttle stop for the mist and mirror lake trails. It has neat displays of animals at night, a bear, mountain lion, and an especially good display of the local trees. There are also crafts for the little ones.
Very beautiful in the midst of green. Flowing water falls is so soothing to ears and mind. Must stroll around when you are around.
Aufgrund der Jahreszeit und der Witterung konnten wir hier nicht wirklich viel machen - die Gegend war jedoch auch im Winter wunderschön, und ein paar Wege konnten wir auch im Januar laufen. Allerdings nicht allzu weit, da irgendwann der Schnee einfach zu hoch wurde, und man somit auch nicht sah, was sich unter den Schneemassen befindet. Sollten wir tatsächlich nochmal zu einer wärmeren Jahreszeit ins Yosemite Valley fahren, gehört ein Besuch der Gegend um Happy Isles definitiv auf dem Programm!
To really sum this up correctly I will say this, just like all of the Yosmemete valley this place is a little piece of heaven. Waterfalls, wood bridges, fast running rivers, wood log crossing, and cascades everywhere. If you want nature to the fullest this is it. Just cant gi wrong with it.
