South Lake, almost 6000' above the town of Bishop:
Fish pond at Glacier Lodge, 4500' above the town of Big Pine:
And the colors in the Fall are pretty amazing. Road to South Lake, end of September:
I'm going to Mammoth with some friends, Sept 28-Oct 2, to ride the high roads and see the colors. Anybody else going up there?

And memers of the Plumas-Sierra Bicycle Club ride there all time. Did time trials all summer. We can always find someone to ride up and down and a whole loop about anytime you want.
