Trailhead
Bishop Creek, Inyo National Forest, California
Tyee Lakes Trailhead is the physical starting place for Tyee Lakes. Kampilo maps only source-supported named overnight areas connected to the official Forest Service trail network.
Camp markers identify general dispersed areas rather than tent pads or guaranteed openings. Confirm the current road, trail, weather, fire, permit, and legal-site conditions before departure.
Seasonal access
No recurring date-based closure of Tyee Lakes Trailhead is published. Verify current access and temporary emergency orders still control access.
Verify current access: Signed parking near Willow Campground. South Lake Road. Check current closures, weather, and vehicle requirements before leaving pavement. High Sierra approaches can be snowbound well into summer, and several roads, shuttles, and remote spurs operate only seasonally. Desert and foothill entries may remain physically reachable in winter but can become unsafe in storms, heat, or after washouts.
Check the exact county, highway, Forest Service road, gate, and shuttle status immediately before departure; a wilderness permit does not guarantee vehicle access.
