I spent a 1/2 day with Beryl on the challenging waters of Hot Creek Ranch where she guided me on how to locate the trout,read the hatch, present the fly and reel in and net the beautiful wily trout in this blue ribbon stream. Beryl knows her stuff and her demeanor is freindly, helpful and fun. I learned enough from her to fish independently for the rest of my Hot Creek trip,.Worth every penny.

Hiking the entire John Muir Trail has been a dream for many years, and Rock Creek's supported hike was an absolutely wonderful way to achieve our goal. Emma is a magician in the camp kitchen and provided us with superb, calorie-dense, really tasty meals. There was plenty of it too, a necessity when hiking in challenging territory for 30 days. Kyle led the pack and was superb: professional, knowledgeable and great company. We would highly recommend Rock Creek Pack Station to lead you on this epic adventure. We couldn't have been more pleased.

With all the gorgeous scenery - like waterfalls, grasslands, and gorges - you won't notice the difficulty of the track.

Stayed here for two nights over Memorial Day weekend. Though the official campgrounds were all full, we didn't have a problem finding space at Buttermilk. It's primitive camping, so you can go pretty much anywhere, but there are a number of spaces cleared out for camping. It's best to go there so as not to disturb more of the landscape. You need to bring all of your food/water, pack out trash and bury your waste. Parts of the area are owned by LADWP and labelled as off limits for camping. I saw some rangers drive through the area at night, so it's possible that this could be enforced. The LADWP lands seem to be kind of like no parking zones; if you drive far enough past the initial restricting sign, you'll arrive to another sign demarcating the end of LADWP land, making it okay to camp again. The views are gorgeous day and night. Starting the morning at the boulders is great and the views of the stars over the mountains are a great way to drift off. Buttermilk Country is at a lower elevation than many of the area hikes, so it stayed fairly pleasant at night and there wasn't snow Though the roads are dirt, our old Honda Odyssey didn't have any problems.

North Lake Campground is situated among the trees and adjacent to the north fork of Bishop Creek. If you’re dreaming of camping high in the Sierras, surrounded by countless trees and the cool breeze of a nearby lake, North Lake Campground is where you should be. Fish the nearby North Lake and hike some the few picturesque hiking trails which connect you with the greater John Muir wilderness.
