The larger pool is used for exercising and splashing, while the smaller one, kept at 104 degrees year round, is for deep relaxation. There are two hot springs pools at Keough’s, with varying temperatures. Keough’s Hot Springs is located off US 395, about 7.5 miles south of the town of Bishop, on Keough Hot Springs Road. The Eastern Sierra is home to a number of hot springs and a soak in a hot mineral spring is the perfect way to relax after a day spent hiking or climbing.

Wildflowers at South Lake in the summer 10. The dirt road is steep, narrow, and winding, with drop-offs that made us nervous. Getting here is an adventure as well: the road is partially paved and partially dirt. The setting is idyllic and a bit remote, and you feel like you are literally miles from anywhere. North Lake is located 9,350 feet above sea level.

Valid for one full year from the month of purchase, the America the Beautiful National Parks Pass costs USD 80.00 and offers admission (one vehicle or 4 persons) to over 2,000 Federal recreation sites, including national parks, national forests, and more! If you plan to visit three or four national parks or other federally managed lands in the next year, you could save money by buying a pass. While the lakes are easily accessed, you can also fish the creek waters.īefore you hike or otherwise venture into the wilderness, visit the Inyo National Forest website to learn about safety and being “bear aware,” and to obtain permits as needed.Īlso, the America the Beautiful National Parks pass is accepted at many federally managed recreation areas, such as the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. It was populated by the Paiute Shoshone, who have left behind lots of petroglyphs.īishop Creek Canyon is a great place to camp during your time in Bishop, and it is also home to a number of resorts.Įach of the three forks of Bishop Creek has a lake at its head, and we’ve described them in detail below, but just the canyon area is super scenic to drive through, especially if you visit in the fall.īishop Creek Canyon is a popular destination for anglers in the summer and fall. The area was formed hundreds of thousands of years ago by the Long Valley Caldera. The rugged terrain is traversed by dirt roads best explored in a 4WD. Just like the Buttermilks, there is a lot to see and do in the Volcanic Tableland even if you do not climb.

The Happy and Sad Boulders, located in a canyon in the Volcanic Tableland northwest of Bishop, are also sought-after bouldering destinations, with the Sad Boulders considered more difficult. While the Buttermilk Boulders are definitely iconic, they are not the only climbing locations in Bishop. Then turn right onto Buttermilk Road, and go for about 3.4 miles.īuttermilk Road is a dirt road and a rough drive in a regular sedan, so drive real slow, or come in a 4WD. To get to the Buttermilk Boulders, take Highway 168 West from Bishop for about 7 miles. Birders should also visit in the spring, when songbirds nest in the willows that line the creek flowing through the Buttermilks. If you visit in the spring, you will see lots of wildflowers. You can also hike in the area, and it is a great photo spot. Then I added the line below (notice number 7 for next) for the California Challenge:Ī similar method can be used for the European Challenge Add-On and the CARS add on disks, I added comments to the Muscle Car Add on disk download.There are lots of dirt trails in Buttermilk Country for mountain biking.

I managed to get the add on disk added to my copy of Test Drive 2(TD2) with out using the install options in game as they would not work for my installed version. I loved this game growing up!! Better than Test Drive one, as the keyboard allowed you to keep the UP ARROW held down while driving!
