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 new 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 - Formerly in management at a large IT firm in Southern California, Jared lives full-time in Bishop nowadays. He has lived to fish since he was a teenager, and 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. His heart however, has always been in the pristine lakes & streams of the High Sierra. Excited about the opportunity to help others enjoy his favorite places, Jared is dedicated to providing resort guests with a tremendous outdoor experience.

Evan Smith - Smitten by the Sierra bug as a boy, Evan is an accomplished angler and brings a laid back attitude and a wealth of personality to the table. Previously managing an outlet for a large retail chain down south, Evan brought his skills to Bishop in 2005. He's been in the Bishop Creek Canyon for four years now and has the knowledge to help you have an exceptional hiking or angling experience.
