They are visible in the fen near Happy Isles and at Valley View. Brilliantly-colored Western Tanagers arrive in park. Adult damselflies hatch and begin to eat mosquitoes. Late May Moist meadows are extremely fragile. Please stay on established trails and elevated boardwalks.
Yosemite waterfalls reach their thundering peak.
One of my personal favorites is Horsetail Fall along the east buttress of El Capitan. This is a remarkable place to see the alpenglow of sunset. Lunar rainbow may be visible at base of Lower Yosemite Fall. Golden Eagles may be sighted soaring above Yosemite Valley cliffs. Bracken fern is tall and abundant along meadow edges and throughout forests.
