Day 1 - Hike in from South Lake to Bishop Lake
An easy morning hike with light packs (thanks to packer support) takes us past a lush string of lakes to a cozy campsite near timberline. With the afternoon free and the fish biting in a nearby lake, our resident fishing experts Cherie and Jeannie catch us a wonderfully tasty dinner of fresh trout, while the energetic ones among us eye the nearby peaks...
