“You’re so lucky to live in Bishop.”
This is a phrase I hear quite often from folks who know this beautiful little town, but don’t live here …. yet!
“Yes,” I agree, “I am.”
The town has charm and grace, the community is hospitable and friendly, and the landscape is … well … spectacular! Bishop and surrounds have incredible natural beauty, a wonderful climate, and a multitude of outdoor activities in settings that are considered world-class. It’s close to two of the country’s most impressive National Parks, Death Valley to the southeast and Yosemite to the northwest.
From here there are places to go and things to do year round that can keep explorers busy and families active on any given day. There are adventures to be had, sights to see, discoveries to be made, challenges to be accomplished, achievements to be reached, and there’s solitude to be found.
Yes, I am lucky to live here, but it’s more than just plain luck. It’s about determination. It’s about a decision to live a life filled with wonder and adventure.
Now you may not live in Bishop, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take a leaf out the locals’ book and live your best life by visiting often and living it up … up here!
Here’s how some of the notable locals live in Bishop…
