Piute Pass Hike in Inyo National Forest is an epic full day hike. Located above the town of Bishop, Ca in the John Muir Wilderness Area. The Trailhead is located near North Lake which is just above Lake Sabrina. The trail is well maintained and provides awesome scenic views. With a light back pack you can do the 12 mile hike in one day. The trail continues on to the PCT and there are a ton of camping opportunities along the route. It is a dog friendly area and the bugs can get thick in lower elevations. Just keep moving and bring your bug spray. It is all worth it when you get above the tree line and into the alpine zone!
