Once again, it is time for the annual Bishop trip. We will be taking the same two trails (Silver/Wyman Canyons and Wheeler Ridge) but his time we are doing a night run up Wheeler Ridge! I know I promised new runs this year but work is taking over my life. Fortunately, I already had days scheduled off for this! We will be getting close to 12,000 ft elevation on both of these trails so some may experience altitude sickness. I recommend at least a good night's sleep in Bishop before attempting, especially if you are used to living at sea level.
Saturday - August 10th - Wheeler Ridge
Description: Wheeler Ridge is a fun trail that will require decent ground clearance on the technical areas. Lockers are not required but can make some obstacles easier. Depending on how quickly we get through this, we will be taking a detour to a beautiful isolated lake for some great scenic views. There is also a fun area littered with poser boulders for some great photo opportunities. The night run will provide some spectacular views of the stars with no city lights to interfere. :link:

Sunday - August 11th - Silver/Wyman Canyons
Description: Silver Canyon starts at the bottom of the White Mountain in the town of Laws just a few miles north of Bishop. We will then descend down Wyman Canyon. If everyone is up for it, we will return back the way we came in. This is an easy trail but the the heights can be intimidating. Those that are in a hurry can choose to leave for home from the end of Wyman Canyon. Low range will be required for the switchbacks. :link:
