About Sierra Mountain Guides
Sierra Mountain Guides is a premier alpine guiding service operating out of North Main Street in downtown Bishop, the gateway to the High Sierra. The company specializes in technical alpine climbing and ski mountaineering, drawing on a team of certified guides whose home range is the rugged crest of the Sierra Nevada and the surrounding wilderness areas.
The outfit runs a deep menu of programs: alpine rock climbs on classic Sierra routes, glacier and snow mountaineering, the legendary Sierra High Route ski traverse, backcountry ski and splitboard tours, and structured mountaineering and avalanche skills courses. Clients can book single-day instruction, multi-day objectives, or fully custom expeditions, and the guides scale terrain and pacing to match everyone from motivated beginners to seasoned alpinists chasing big peaks.
Sierra Mountain Guides has built its reputation on safety, professionalism and an intimate familiarity with Eastern Sierra conditions across every season. Because the guides ski and climb this terrain constantly, they offer real-time beta on snowpack, rockfall and weather that turns an ambitious itinerary into an achievable one. For visitors who want to tackle serious mountain objectives with expert support, it is one of Bishop's most trusted names.
