About us
The BRH hiking group offers hiking in the Bishop and the surrounding areas. Just a fun group with like-minded individuals of all ages and skill levels who enjoy hiking, backpacking, and snowshoe. Hikes will vary, and routes preplanned but most importantly hikes will be relaxed so everyone can enjoy the adventure and the beauty of the Sierras. I am not a guide, and your suggestion of hikes will be much appreciated.
Disclaimer:
I am by no means an expert hiker or a guide and will not be responsible for you. I am a hiker that enjoys the outdoors and welcomes anyone on my adventures. I am learning, I may ask for your advice. You must be appropriately in condition, know your limits, geared up with your own supplies, take care yourself, able to navigate, and know what to do in an event of emergency.
Let’s get out hike!
