Bishop Creek

Bishop Creek offers a mediocre experience for those willing to run canyons in the PNW Winter. The slot at the lower section is shallow and unimpressive and creek walking is slow and careful due to the broken rock fragments.

As of January 2018, the road to the drop in has been washed out. Park the car at the washout and hike on the road for 2 miles. When the road makes a hairpin turn, proceed uphill offtrail making sure not to get cliffed out or you’ll miss the first series of drops.

The first four rappels are open cascade-like waterfalls. The canyon features a type of rock that flakes off in large sections. There are several loose flakes that were noticed while rappelling R4. R1: 50' R2: 20' DCR R3: 60' DCL R4: 150' DCR - webbing wrapped around tree root and limbs. R5+: There are several (5-7) additional rappels ranging from 10-20'. There is an abundance of natural anchors and some rappels are directly in the flow of the water.
