Long Lake via Bishop Pass Trail

Cappie’s Scoop: This trail is great and we need to hike it many more times to see all the different things! There are lots of lakes, big rocks to climb and a very high point called a pass. On this hike, there was lots of snow but the road was open so we got to park at the South Lake trailhead. We only made it to Long Lake because the snow was melting and mom didn’t have her snow shoes on and I was sinking in! I had so much zooming in the snow. This was a good time of year to go! Check out our separate post where we hiked all the way to Bishop Pass! I still need to check out more lakes from this trailhead, stay tuned. 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, Long Lake (posted here), 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.
