Established in 1921, Parchers Resort
is a lot more than a mountain resort, it's a
landmark. W.C. and Marie Louise Parcher's vision is
responsible for creating one of the best jumping off
points for Sierra recreation in the whole of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains. For a comprehensive history
of the resort from its inception through 1984 as
recorded in an article by Marty Forstenzer published
in Sierra Life Magazine,

Although some things have changed over the years,
the classic Sierra experience in the majestic
setting of the Bishop Creek Canyon has changed
little in the 85 years Parchers has been providing
lodging and recreational services to families and
friends.
Below
is a small collection of classic Parchers photos
that the current ownership, the Smith Family, has
compiled during our first two seasons. Many of the
photos were shared with us by previous guests or
previous owners of the resort. We love to hear
stories of summers past and see pictures of how
things looked once upon a time so if you have any
Parchers memories you'd like to share with us,
please contact us via email at
reservations@parchersresort.net or
by US mail at 5001 South Lake Rd, Bishop CA 93514.
