Located on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, this small town is a popular stepping-off point for pack trips into the mountains. Fishing, swimming, backpacking, camping, hang gliding, and hiking are all popular pastimes in Bishop. In autumn, the cottonwood and aspen put on a colorful display. The Owens Valley Paiute Shoshone Cultural Center Museum presents the history of the area's native peoples. Four miles north, visit the Laws Railroad Museum and Historic Site, where restored buildings and antique locomotives and railroad cars recall the history of this once-thriving railroad town. Forty miles south, in Inyo National Forest, see the world's oldest living trees in the 4,500-year-old Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest.
