Join me and @NicoleHikesalot on an overnight on the Bishop Pass trail of the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. We camp at a beautiful campground up in the mountains outside of Bishop California to prep for our adventure. The trip begins at South Lake at the Bishop Pass Trailhead. We hike up to and make basecamp at Long Lake. On day two we hike up towards Bishop Pass climbing past one jaw dropping Alpine Lake after another. It feels amazing to be back in the Sierra!

Are there grizzly bears in Eastern Sierra?
Very beautiful video…the Sierra and your editing and music
pinkze he say " both yourself and Jarl have a knack of capturing the magic of every place you adventure, utterly beautiful "
"Going to the mountains, is going home." John Muir "I concur, Mr. Muir", loved that! I so agree about the Eastern Sierra being such a special and magical place. It's my favorite the world over.
South Lake is really low for June 2021. I've only seen it like this in late fall when the LADWP drains the lake for dam repairs. Here's climate change folks.
Been there many times and I share your sentiments about the Sierra.
Between the Eastern Sierra's, Wind River Range or the San Juan's in Colorado… which is your favorite mountains to explore?
So beautiful!!! I love the eastern sierras❤️
Just left there! Loved it!
I just found your channel! Thanks for sharing. Beautiful pictures and video, I felt like I was right there!
Theres a special tranquility about your videos , so needed today… thank you Catherine
Thank you Catherine
Beautiful ❤️
Do you ever see snakes?
Thanks for the video, it brought back good memories of backpacking there on my way off the JMT 5 years ago.
Another Awesome video Catherine. How busy was the trail in June? I noticed there were a few people along the lake. I love love love Nicole.
That is such a beautiful hike! Yes, you are right the Sierras are magical, tfs🌲
Que hermoso Lugar, que hermosa California.
Thank you Beautiful.
The absolutely share in your joy of the eastern Sierra’s . You made the sometimes arduous task of working a trek through altitude into a refreshing shower of soothing , clean mountain air…..And I never felt any of the wind; just the joy of the journey!
All mountains are petrified giant wood stumps all minerals xome from these tree stumps you can confirm these, by watching hangman videos and also biblical trees on you tube
I have watched several of your presentations . I really enjoy your photography and the back ground music. Very mellow. Thanks and be safe
If one takes time observing nature they will notice it’s elements harmonizing as in this beautiful example where one tree tells us that this ecosystem belongs to the bear. You’ll see the tree at exactly 6:51 mins into this film. Let me know if you see it.
I’m loving your videos, and getting inspired to sometime in the future tackle such a gorgeous trail right at our California backyard!
Beautiful countryside
OMG! This is what heaven must look like to God!
I’m a little confused about your trip. You said it was an overnight with the first stop at Long Lake and then heading to Bishops Pass on the second day. I was looking at the Inyo national forest map tracking your route. Did you do an out and back or is there a loop that I’m not seeing on this map?
Beautiful life
