Bishop camping offers a myriad of outdoor activities. This "small town with a big backyard" at the northern end of the Owens Valley, with close access to some of the Sierra's most spectacular high country, is a blue-sky utopia for hikers, climbers, mountain bikers and anglers. Magnificent peaks - including 14,505-foot/4,421-metre Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous US states - offer countless secret places to discover, such as crippling alpine Sabrina Lake, a half-hour drive southwest of Bishop campgrounds. (Bird lovers take note: Sabrina Lake is a great place to spot snow quail (technically, alpine quail or ptarmigan). When the winter snow disappears, Bishop is a common starting point for hiking trips into the John Muir and Ansel Adams Wilderness Areas (Inyo National Forest wilderness permits are required for some locations; permits, as well as trail maps and recommendations, are available at the White Mountain Visitor Center on N. Main Street). Other excellent places to explore are the spectacular White Mountains - site of the ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest - to the east, and the volcanic plateaus to the north. Discover this amazing destination on your next family vacation, with the many things to do for kids, you'll have an amazing time.
