Geocache Description:

Don't look for this cache! It's not allowed as Yosemite is a national park. Sorry!!!

"There are three islets just above the bridge, which have never been given a name in Yosemite geography... I have named them the Happy Isles, for no one can visit them without for a while forgetting the grinding strife of his world and be happy." --W.E. Dennison, Guardian of Yosemite Valley, 1884-1887


This cache is located in Yosemite Valley. GPS reception isvery limited due to the valley and granite cliffs. You should start at the Nature Center at Happy Isles and cross the boardwalk into Happy Isles Fen. Once you cross, look for a large boulder. The cache is hidden not too far from the boulder. You may want to decrypt the hint in advance, even if you don't plan to use it right away!

By the way, be sure to visit The Happy Isles themselves; this is an Island Cache!
