I took a fun dayhike up and around Chocolate Peak on the Bishop Pass Trail, from the South Lake Trailhead; it was the final part of my three-day plan to get acclimated to high elevation on an upcoming multi-day trek. I hiked over 7 miles and climbed 1600 feet, and saw many beautiful lakes and mountains. The South Fork Bishop Creek valley is one of the loveliest places in the High Sierra, and well worth exploring.
