July 25 - Hot Springs, Hike, Bishop

​started our morning off with a foot soak in the Whitmore Tub. We turned off 395 at Benton Crossing at the historic green church (for future reference). There are a couple spots for our RV.  Next year!

Sierras are in the background. 

What we see from a camp site. 

Left camp for a hike on the Fairy Forest Loop Trail. Although it is only a 1.5 mile hike, it was straight up through the John Muir Wilderness before it started downhill along the Hilton Creek.

A few wildflowers were at the last stages of blooming.

A look back to Crowley Lake from about 7,560 ft

We walked through pines and aspens, a nice hike through the “fairy” forest.

Crossed Hilton Creek for a little rest before finishing. Look at the little bridge we crossed. A little shaky.

As we got closer to the end of the hike this rubber rabbitbrush was blooming. 

We had wanted to go to the brewery in Bishop BUT the temp there was 103! Decided to go back to Distant Brewery in Mammoth.
