Tyee Lakes Trail
Beginning near Willow Campground, the Tyee trail crosses the bridge over Bishop Creek. This steep trail with many switchbacks has great views of the Inconsolable Range and the peaks that surround South Lake. Tyee Lakes are near the top of Table Mountain. A less distinct trail crosses over to connect with the George Lake trail to Lake Sabrina. This trail does not give access to Bishop Pass or Piute Pass for the North Lake/ South Lake loop. Tyee Lakes trail is not recommended for stock.
