The Parker Bench Trail can be accessed from the Rush Creek Trailhead is located by the horse corral just past Silver Lake Resort or the Park Lake Trailhead.

The trail hikes steeply from each trailhead to the rolling sagebrush bench that are accentuated by scattered stands of quaking aspen and lodgepole and framed by the towering backdrop of the high Sierra crest. The Trail also offers sweeping views of the Mono Basin. Spring wildflower viewing and fall colors are also notable.

A car shuttle is highly suggested.
