Shuttle/hitch from Bishop to South Lake

Post by survey2700 »

My partner and I will be arriving in Bishop later on Tuesday, Sept 11 and looking to hitch or snag a shuttle out to South Lake either late on Tues, or more probably, early on Weds, Sept 12 to begin a backpack trip. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Survey2700,

Welcome to HST! Start up the road to South Lake, have a sign with "South Lake" written
on it, and as Markskor mention in another thread replace the "S" with a $ sign, and
offer a few dollars for the ride.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Thanks Maverick. Will there be enuf traffic going out there that we should be able to get a ride? We are kinda pressed for time and are afraid to waste too much time hitching if there is not a reasonable chance of getting a ride. Are there any people in town that provide some sort of shuttle service for a reasonable cost?

Depends on what you consider reasonable, but here is one of a few shuttle

If you are really pressed for time then it may be well worth it too you.
