The happy isles trail was a hidden gem that not many people come to. Paved and flat most of the way makes it very accessible for wheelchair users.

A cool spot to come visit on your Yosemite trip.
-
It is easy to walk.
-
It may be closed for the remainder of the 2020 season, it still attracts plenty of foot traffic, it being nearby the JMT, the Upper Pines Campground & a restroom.
