Beginning of October, Mammoth Lakes Tourism and Mammoth Mountain announced new United seasonal service into the Eastern Sierra Regional Airport (BIH) in Bishop, Calif. Beginning Dec. 19, 2021, these new flights bring daily service to BIH with United from Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco making winter air travel to California’s most popular mountain resort more accessible.
“Having Eastern Sierra Regional Airport in Bishop obtain commercial status will change the way the world accesses one of the most beautiful parts of California,” said Mammoth Lakes Tourism Executive Director, John Urdi. “The Eastern Sierra has always been a bucket list destination for people around the country, and the world, and now it will be more accessible for those visitors coming from longer distances and spending more time enjoying all that the region has to offer.”

Travelers can enjoy the convenience of a private air travel experience at commercial airline cost with benefits such as private terminals and skipping TSA. | | Find the Best Photo Ops in Yosemite There’s just something about the fall leaves in Yosemite—it’s simply a must-see. Crowds mostly hit the park in the summer months, while fall offers a peaceful and serene experience, and opportunities for unbelievable leaf peeping photography, as the park settles into this calmer season. Some great places to capture the golden hues and fall colors of the meadows, as well as the orange alpine glow of the mountains include Leidig Meadow and Olmstead Point, to name a few! With the seasons changing, the breathtaking sunsets over the summits and striking granite cliffs against a crisp, morning sky, make way for some of the most picturesque scenery of Yosemite Valley. | | Lodging in Yosemite Mariposa County One thing’s for certain — visitors to Yosemite Mariposa County earn their sleep.
