Location

Bishop, United States

Eastern Sierra Regional Airport (BIH/KBIH) is a public airport serving Bishop, California, located in the Owens Valley along the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It sits at an elevation of approximately 4,124 feet above sea level, making it one of the higher-elevation regional airports in California.
