Went up 168 out of Bishop up toward Lake Sabrina. Gradual climb, probably
1000' at least. Check out the map. I didn't finish the ride to the lake, but maybe next week. Whew! First Ride o the year!

At top of where I turned around- Muscles not Motors! |

There's a "community" below the mountains. These are the mountains between Pine Creek trailhead and Horton Lakes. Maybe Mount Emerson and Mount Humphreys...(?) |
From Active.com #7 Top Decents: Lake Sabrina, California
RATING: FS
TOTAL ELEVATION LOSS: 4,734 feet
LENGTH: 15.6 miles
AVERAGE GRADE: 5.8%
MAXIMUM: 10% Take a moment to soak in the view from the top—the road peaks just above Lake Sabrina and the spectacular alpine landscape of the High Sierra—because in short order you're going to leave it far behind. The narrow one-lane road blunts speed at the top, but once you're out of the trees, hang on. Soon you'll plunge along the route's steepest section, so chances are you'll be flying when you hit the big S-curve about two-thirds of the way down. That feature slows things down a bit—not necessarily a bad thing on this hill—but once you're beyond that you can pin it again all the way down to the valley floor, more than 15 miles all told.
