Bishop Trail - Starting Point

This trail starts a short distance from Silverpark Resort where we stayed and ends at the Muar Cottage. The trail is 1500meters. It had well-maintained huts where we took shelter from the intermittent rains. While these shelters kept us dry, they could not protect us from the leeches that latched onto our shoes while we waited for the rain to stop. At the first shelter near the entrance to the trail, it started to rain. Forced to stop before we had really begun trekking, we had time to take in the surrounding nature and were rewarded with this vine or root that was covered with bunches of oval-shaped fruits. I've never seen anything like this and time passed quickly as I experimented with the various settings of my camera to get reasonably clear shots without the use of the flash.
