Ah – it feels so good to finally plan for another outdoor meeting venue with what we hope will be gorgeous spring weather and the beginnings of Yosemite spring dogwood season.
May Gathering Details:
Date: Wednesday, May 7, 2025
Time: 5:00 – 7:00 pm
Location: Meet near Shuttle Stop 16 – Happy Isles
What to Expect:
Bring (as always):
- Something to write with and on. I’ll try to have some extra stuff if you forget, but a bit of printer paper and a pen or pencil also works!
- Layers to be ready for whatever the weather is going to throw at us. (We may reschedule/cancel in the unlikely event of rain. Make sure you are on our email list to get the latest updates.)
- Your Curiosity and Wonder. May is always an exciting season, with the dogwoods beginning to bloom and the beautiful bracts surrounding the flowers with white. With the unexpected but appreciated return of “winter” in March, the water should be flowing bright and beautiful as well.
Getting There:
Plan to park in Curry Village, and/or walk, bike, or take the shuttle bus to stop #16 at Happy Isles. Since the bus stop itself is often busy and next to the road, let’s gather on the far side of the shuttle stop/restroom area on the trail near the big Welcome to Happy Isles sign. From there, we can explore more of Happy Isles or make our way over to the Fen. They are both often underappreciated corners of the park and filled with so much beauty and interest.
