## Description

In the Owens Valley, wedged between the Sierra Nevada crest and the White Mountains, lies Eastern Sierra Regional Airport (IATA: BIH, ICAO: KBIH) at Bishop – elevation 4,124 feet. Winter brings regional jets full of skiers bound for Mammoth Mountain; the rest of the year belongs to general aviation and the glider pilots who chase the famous Sierra wave. No freight is handled: the sparsely settled valley is supplied by truck along US 395, with air cargo routing through Los Angeles or Reno. Every Memorial Day weekend, Bishop hosts Mule Days, the world's largest celebration of its kind.
