After hiking through vibrant aspen groves, load up on pastries at local bakeries and overnight at charming hotels like Wayfinder Bishop. Nestled at the base of the soaring Sierra Nevada mountains, the small town of Bishop, California, has autumn views that rival leaf-peeping destinations the world over. As an East-to-West Coast transplant that loves fall, I’ve spent years searching for leaf-peeping destinations in California, and Bishop is my favorite. "Everybody gussies up their cars and then they take them up Bishop Creek Canyon, where all the vibrant foliage is going off. The Wayfinder Bishop puts guests in spacious, modern rooms right next to the serene Bishop Creek.
