Parchers Resort - About Us

Originally from Orange County California the Smiths purchased Parchers Resort & South Lake Boat Landing in 2006. With 50 years plus experience playing in the outdoors their focus is now to help others experience the epic grandeur of the Eastern Sierra. Meet the management team of Parchers Resort.

Judy & Steve Smith - Having hiked all across the High Sierra backcountry from Cottonwood to Yosemite, this well traveled couple has looked to the Sierra as a safe haven from the hustle & bustle of city life for the past 30 years. Originally professional musicians, Steve & Judy switched gears as their family grew and together built Smith Chiropractic, a successful Chiropractic practice in Buena Park, CA. Proud parents of five children, songwriting, golfing, backpacking and now providing the best Sierra experience possible are their passions.

Jared "Smitty" Smith - An avid hiker, angler, photographer, fishing guide and author, Jared has lived for the great outdoors his entire life. While chasing the catch of a lifetime in both fresh & saltwater, he has tried his luck from Florida to the east, Alaska to the north, and Mexico to the south with plenty of stops in between. His heart however, has always been in the pristine lakes & streams of the High Sierra where he spends his off-time hiking, backpacking, and fishing. As General Manager of the resort and boat landing, Jared is dedicated to providing resort guests and area visitors with a tremendous outdoor experience.
