Where You'll Stay
Best Western Bishop Lodge

Location: Bishop
Nestled in California's scenic Owens Valley, the Best Western Bishop Lodge hotel is a gateway to the beautiful Sierra Nevada. This full-service hotel is located fewer than 40 miles from some of California's best fishing, hunting, hiking and skiing.

Camp will be set up by staff along Pizona Creek. We will be at this campsite for the duration of the program. Take in the fresh air and starry night sky of the Inyo National Forest from your tent in a back country location. Although the Rock Creek Pack Station provides all meals and most camping supplies, you will be responsible for providing some of your own equipment, such as a sleeping bag and sleeping pad. A detailed packing list will be included in the informational packet you will receive before the program.
