transportation options to Wishon Reservoir

Post by abauer253 »

I am planning a trip for this summer from Wishon Reservoir to Bishop Pass. I will be flying in from the east coast and do not want to rent a car. What are the options for getting from Fresno to the Wishon Reservoir? Is Uber a realistic option? Are there private transportation companies that will take me there? Any advice would be helpful.

I would recommend calling the Wishon Village RV park and seeing if they have any solutions. They may be able to put you in touch with someone going down to Fresno for resupplies. Otherwise I think your only solution is posting here and coordinating a ride with a private party. It's a 2 hour drive from Fresno, so I'm not sure any Uber driver would be willing to do that. There may be other ride-share services that will, but I'm not sure.

When are you coming in? I'm in Fresno and can maybe work something out depending on the day.

Thanks for the thoughts. I'll be coming in from Philadelphia. I'm just in the early planning stages now but I appreciate your offer to help!

I suggest talking to Jim Clement (https://vvr.place/hikers/sierra-mountai ... index.html), he may be able to help or know of someone who can. You might also consider starting at Edison or Florence instead of Wishon.

Long due but I could still ask.
Have you looked into any shuttle services or private transportation companies in the Fresno area that might offer trips to Wishon Reservoir? They could be a convenient option if you prefer not to rent a car. Additionally, you might want to check if there are any local forums or groups where outdoor enthusiasts discuss transportation options for hiking trips in the region
