Bishop Pass

Cappie’s Scoop: I started very early because I knew we were going very far this time on the trail. I was going all the way to the pass! Last time I was here, I hiked in the snow to only Long Lake but this time, I was going all the way up! It was a great day too because the sun was shining and I could dip my paws in the water. I hiked up very high going over lots of rocks until I reached a strange sign that said, no dogs past this sign! What?! That’s okay because I had a lot of fun and we passed so many other trails along the way for Treasure Lakes and Chocolate Lakes so we’ll be back! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: This trailhead is really awesome because you have a menu of trails to hike once you get on Bishop Pass Trail. You can hike to the pass (posted here), Long Lake, Chocolate Lakes loop, Marie Louise Lakes or Treasure Lakes. The trails are marked at the junctions. We cannot wait to go back and hike all of these trails and even backpack a few too!

Directions: From the town of Bishop, head west on CA-168 for 14.7 miles and then turn left onto South Lake Rd. Continue on South Lake Rd for 7.1 miles until it ends at the parking lot/trailhead for Bishop Pass Trail. This road is closed during the winter.
